Antique Scandinavian Wall Mirror, c. 1870–1900
This elegant wall mirror dates to the late 19th century and is likely of Scandinavian origin, possibly Danish.
It features a deep, architectural wooden frame with stepped moulding, painted in a rich oxblood red with a beautifully aged surface.
The mirror retains its original hand-cut glass, showing a soft, slightly wavering reflection typical of the period. The back is constructed from solid wooden boards and still fitted with its original rope suspension — a quiet but telling detail of its age and authenticity.
The surface bears traces of time: gentle wear, all consistent with a piece that has lived for over a century. Nothing has been restored or altered, and the patina has been carefully preserved.
A calm, grounding object — architectural rather than decorative — that brings depth and warmth to both classical and contemporary interiors.
