A striking example of architectural salvage repurposed as a grand mirror. The wide frame is clad in antique pressed tin tiles—originally designed for the ceilings of Victorian storefronts featuring a deep relief pattern of stylized quatrefoils and floral motifs. The metal retains a rich, oxidized copper or rust patina that highlights the intricate embossing. The mirror glass itself is vintage, showing authentic "foxing" (cloudy silvering spots) that soften the reflection and confirm its history.
Standing at nearly 6 feet tall, this mirror is a commanding "leaner" for a master bedroom or dressing area. Its substantial width (38 inches) makes it functional for checking outfits while visually expanding the room. In a living room, prop it against a wall to reflect light and create the illusion of a doorway to another space.
