This mirror has presence.

A tall, slender oval in vintage giltwood, nearly two and a half times as tall as it is wide. One smooth, softly domed rim runs all the way around it, with no carving and no ornament, just a clean, unbroken line of gold.

The gold leaf is brushed on in long, fine strokes, so the rim glows with a soft grain rather than a hard shine: warm yellow gold with darker streaks running through it. A thin black lip sits between the gold and the glass and sharpens the whole outline. The glass is plain and flat, and the frame stands just over 2 inches deep, so it holds its own on the wall.

Lean it against the wall in a bedroom or dressing corner, or hang it upright in a narrow entry. In our photos it is paired with the Louis XV-Style Carved Walnut Slipper Chair in Gold Velvet and the Ming-Style Black Lacquer Side Table, both also available at Organic Erotic.

Quiet and a little glamorous, it brings light and one long, easy line to any room.

Vintage, in good condition, with wear consistent with age, including small chips and rubs to the gilding along the outer edge and lower curve where the pale gesso shows through. Offered at the Organic Erotic exclusive price of $750.
