Fabulous Gesso Barbola Dressing Table Mirror Roses!
I am pleased to present this fabulous gesso barbola roses beveled dressing table mirror, c. 1900-1920's! I have never come across a gesso mirror as a dressing table mirror and this is very rare indeed. The handmade gesso/barbola roses are just beautiful and my pictures do not do it justice. Much prettier in person. The frame is a creamy beige which sets off the colors of the florals beautifully. The leaves have exquisit details along with blue forget-me-nots and each rose is slightly different. The wood stand is very dainty and the mirror swings. The mirror itself is beveled and it is perfect! I could find no loss of silvering or scratches. About the only thing I could find wrong is the left leg stand has a crack in it which shows on the back. It is very sturdy, though. The frame measures 14.5" high and 12" wide. This was obviously lovingly taken care of. Don't miss out on this one of a kind!
