Black Forest Twig Mirror with Carved Leaf Corners, Germany, 19th Century

This charming Black Forest mirror features a rustic twig-style wood frame with deeply carved leaf cluster ornaments bursting from each corner in a dark espresso tone. A silvered gilt inner bead separates the frame from the mirror plate, adding a refined contrast to the wildly organic woodwork surrounding it. It is an intimate and characterful piece that brings an air of alpine folk craft to a bedroom, bathroom, or small entryway wall.
