Black Forest Twig Mirror with Carved Leafs, Germany, 19th Century

This elegant Black Forest mirror pairs a rustic twig-style frame with a continuous carved vine and leaf motif running the length of each rail, culminating in full carved leaf cluster ornaments at every corner. A warm gilt inner bead frames the mirror plate, providing a lovely luminous contrast against the deep espresso-toned wood. It is a refined and well-proportioned example of the style, equally beautiful in a bedroom, bath, or collected gallery wall.
