Description
This excellent condition Eastlake mirror has the original mirror glass, and a wooden holder for a candle on each side. The majority of it is carved from a darker wood, with the vertical "columns" on each side made perhaps of a lighter-looking, swirled wood, adding additional beauty to this piece. There is a carved leaf motif on each side, with beautiful carved rossettes, knobs, and spools along the "captain's rail", hiding a display area on the top of the mirror.
Re: Eastlake carved and turned wooden antique mirror
Hard to tell from the image, but it looks like part of this mirror is missing, these were usually mounted over a short "Pier" table. Could you post some images up of the whole thing?
Re: Eastlake carved and turned wooden antique mirror
Thank you Lovejoy for your question.There is nothing broken on/from the mirror. The photo I took is dark, and the mirror is next to a covered upholstered chair, which apparently is hiding the bottom left corner of the mirror that you may be concerned about. I cannot lift the mirror (it's very heavy!) to give a better photograph until I have someone here to help me lift it in a week or two. I can take other photos at that time.
It is a beautiful, and beautifully cared-for antique, nothing broken or missing from it, unless originally (before our family purchased it 45 years ago) there was a piece on the bottom, but it has never looked like anything was missing or broken from it. Would you like for me to re-submit when I'm able to get more photos, to give you a better look at it? I could at that time also take a few close-ups for detail...? Which areas would you like a closer look at? Thank you for your input!
