About the Item

A regal gold and silver gilt mirror with intricate, carved details at the top and bottom. A splendid Ho-oh bird (or Chinese Phoenix) grips scrolling acanthus leaves on the crown of an elegant oval frame. The Ho-oh bird appears in 19th century decorative arts as a symbol of good luck and good fortune; specifically longevity, fidelity, and wisdom. Every decorative element on this piece adds intrigue to an otherwise understated, yet classic design. The original plate of mercury glass is beveled which accentuates the beauty of its oval shape and is still brilliant with just the slightest bit of foxing. The gilt is in excellent antique condition with a gorgeous metallic luster. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition and message us with any questions.
