Very Long /Wide French Art Deco Silvered Wood, Nickeled Bronze + Brass Mirror
Located in New York City, NY
An original French Art Deco long, wide and rectangular, silver over wood
wall mirror with slightly curved top, fluted sides and angular accents of nickel and brass.
The highly decorative ziggurat, sky scraper, stylized representation on the bronze mounts flanking each side and center distinguish this highly imposing mirror.
The mirror features an overall authentic geometric expression with a period mirror inset. The inset shows some very small age spots on the glass which add to the mirror's charm and character.
Since we cannot photograph the mirror due to it's reflection, I would approximate a total of ~35 tiny desilvered spots ranging in size from 1/4" maximum on ~ 5 spots, to miniscule in size on the remaining dots.
Slightly rubbed/ mottled finish on the nickeled over bronze mounts with a satin finish on the wood, as shown in pics.
This mirror is meant to be hung horizontally, making it perfect for use above a console, mantel, fireplace, in a bedroom, over a cabinet, in a dining room, hallway...More mirrors, Floor Mirrors and Full-Length Mirrors, Girandoles, Mantel Mirrors and Fireplace Mirrors, Pier Mirrors and Console Mirrors...

Antique and Vintage Mantel Mirrors and Fireplace Mirrors
Antique and vintage fireplace mirrors and mantel mirrors are sophisticated, classic pieces of decor, with the large size of fireplace mirrors making them centerpiece objects. They add character to any room and also create the appearance of space. Fireplace mirrors and mantel mirrors, like any well-placed antique or vintage mirror, can act as a source of light and make a room seem bigger than it is.
Fireplace mirrors were once a status symbol, as only the wealthiest could afford these big, beautiful pieces for their homes. In the 1500s and 1600s, the Venetian glass industry produced mirrors that were luxury items. Their painstaking creation was the result of a secretive process using melted tin, limiting their size and availability.
In the late 17th century, French glassmaker Bernard Perrot radically transformed mirrors. By casting glass into large, flat slabs, his work grew into an international market for mantel mirrors. These mirrors were often set in decorated frames.
French homes transitioned to lower fireplaces and mantels so tall mantel mirrors could fit above them. The design of fireplace mirrors reflected architectural trends. Some in the mid-18th century featured paintings, while others had delicate carvings.
By the 1800s, mantel mirrors had become more widely available. This reflected a dramatic change in glass mass-production technology, which made oversize mirrors more accessible, leading to their proliferation across the globe.
Today, mantel mirrors are still highly regarded statement pieces with an enduring reputation for elegance. Their versatility has allowed them to branch out beyond the fireplace. Their reflectiveness allows them to amplify a sumptuous painting in a bedroom or capture the tiling of a bathroom.
From mid-century modern designs to pieces created in Louis XVI style, there is a mirror for every room and every occasion on 1stDibs.
