This fabulous, antique mirror is of impressive size and displays the fanciful, exaggerated flourishes of the era. Note the unusually tall, plumed crest, the conventionalized acanthus leaf patterns and scrolled shell and floral designs. It will most certainly be the focal point in a special room.
Provenance: Estate of philanthropist Mae Bleakie Boettcher (American, 1913-2001).
