Mirror, mirror........

I was doing a little blog browsing this afternoon, when I came across this great blog by Jane Schott called "Empress of the Eye".  As I am reading, I come to this post about a mirror......

a very lovely mirror.  Jane discovered this beauty in a shop owned by her friend in West Palm Beach called Antiques Row.

For only $1450. plus shipping this 88 inch tall, gilt trimmed mirror can be yours.

She doesn't mention the width but it must be 60 to 72 inches wide.  It is a beauty.

 

Now, let me show you the mirror I just scored at a yard sale...............

  Granted my mirror is about half the size, at 44 x 31 inches, but it has its original gorgeous gilt trim and a heavy, beveled, plate glass mirror.

I touched up a few scrapes and scratches, with artist oil paint, on the black part of the molding, but the gold just required dusting. You get an idea, in this photo, of the detail and quality of the mirror frame, there are no cracks or broken pieces on the frame, amazing!

You want to know what's really amazing......I paid $15. for it.....can you believe it! 

I'm taking my mirror over to Debbie Doos Garage Salen Partay, Nifty Thrifty Tuesday and Tabletop Tuesday     .  Come see what the others brought and feel free to comment.
