The dimensions are 22" across, 25" high (at the highest point) and approximately 8" deep. The cabinet dates to early (ish) 20th century.

Offered here is one of two early 20th century giltwood, trumeau style mirrors with classical figures in relief in the top panel. Each mirror has slightly different figures in the top panel, but work well as a pair, if one desires, since they are identical in every other aspect. These were made in Italy, and bought in Italy, and date to around 1930-1940 in my estimation. There is some wear to the edges, as is typical of this type of work, but I consider that an enhancement rather than a detractio... Click for details

We have a wonderful brass ormalu mounted animal horn Epergne. Some might call this a cornucopia or horn of plenty.

The water gilding is beginning to fade in some areas, and there are a few nicks around the back edge (not the decorative part). The wear is unobtrusive and not unexpected in an antique piece, even one with as much obvious care as this mirror has received. The beveled mirror is an old replacement. Do see al...
