The name of Italy has magic in its very syllables. Mary Shelley

{HISTORY}

Never underestimate the power of a pretty vintage mirror! The best way to brighten up your kitchen space,  to make it appear a little bigger, a little more dimensional is to add a mirror. Hang it on a wall opposite a window or in a corner that reflects light from a window and watch the whole room effortlessly open up into a bigger more lively space. 

This vintage toleware mirror was made in Italy in the 1950s. It features metal flowers against an open metal frame giving it the appearance of a blooming trellis right there on your wall. Containing the unique color palette of ice pink, mustard, aubergine, evergreen burgundy and cream, this is a lovely decorative piece to hang above your cocktail cart or near your wine rack as so many of the colors favor wine and champagne shades. Of course, it does - it is from the land of vines and vino after all:) 

{SPECIAL FEATURES}

- All metal frame including flowers

- Hard to find floral toleware

- Comes ready to hang with original wire intact

- Can be hung in either landscape or portrait fashion

 {CONDITION}

In well-loved shabby chic condition. There are some rust spots on the metal frame and chippy paint loss on some flowers. Two flowers contain bent petals as happens with these mirrors over time. There are two missing pieces in the floral framework - one is a leaf in the bottom right corner - the other is a flower blossom in the middle on the left-hand side of the frame. Neither of these missing pieces is very noticeable due to the abundance of other foliage. Please see photos for those specific details. 

The mirrored glass also contains two scratches - both of which were very hard to photograph. You can't see them when looking at the mirror straight on but when you are looking at the mirror from an angle towards a light source you can see them. One scratch measures 1.5" inches in length and the other 4.25" inches in length. They are both just light surface scratches and both appear in the middle half to top third section.
Also, due to the age of this mirror, there are some parts of the paint that look a little more dusty or dingy than others. This is not dirt just thinning spots of the original paint. Please see photos.

 

{SIZE}

Measures 24" inches (length) x 16" inches (width) x1.5" inches (depth) and weighs just under 7lbs.
