Lot 449: A 20th Century Ornate Gilt Framed Bevelled Oval Wall Mirror
A large oval wall mirror featuring an ornate gilt-finished frame, likely constructed from a composition material or resin.

Similar floral and foliate accents are situated at the cardinal points of the frame. The mirror is fitted with a bevelled glass plate. The gilding exhibits an aged tone with some accumulation of dust and darkening within the recesses of the moulding. No maker’s marks or manufacturer labels are present on the visible surfaces. An orange inventory sticker is adhered to the glass surface.
