Description from the seller
Adjustable Table Mirror with Mercury Glass, circa 1900
This freestanding table mirror features a solid hardwood structure with an adjustable tilting frame mounted on turned side supports. The mirror plate shows clear signs of age-related oxidation, consistent with original mercury-backed glass, lending an authentic period surface rather than a replaced reflective plate.
Manufacturer / Origin: Unattributed workshop, Europe
Date: circa 1900
Style / Use: Dressing table mirror, domestic interior use
Materials: Solid hardwood, original mercury glass
Condition: Structurally stable. The wood shows surface wear, scratches, and patina consistent with age. The mirror glass displays oxidation and spotting, with no cracks or later replacement observed. Adjustment mechanism functions correctly.
Value justification: Original mercury glass mirrors from the turn of the 20th century are increasingly scarce due to fragility and frequent replacement. This example retains its original glass, adjustable structure, and coherent proportions, supporting collector interest for authentic antique interiors.
Dimensions: Height 42 cm × Width 55 cm × Depth 23 cm
