Antique Brass-plated mirror with nymphs

By kookykitten32, 25 July, 2010
Description

This is an easel mirror that has been handed down in my family. There are flowers surrounding the majority of the framework and two nymphs taking in the flowers' fragrance. The mirror is original, very thick glass and sharply beveled at the edges. This is something that I remember seeing at my grandmother's as a girl, and it has enchanted me since then!
