Late 19th / Early 20th and Brass Mounted Mirror

Updated August 18, 2026

Large mahogany overmantel mirror of architectural form, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, the richly figured wood frame shaped with a broad stepped and arched crest above a wide rectangular mirror plate. The glass is divided by slender polished metal muntins into geometric sections and punctuated by substantial cast brass floral rosettes, with additional gilt-brass architectural plaques mounted at the lower corners and small applied brass star or foliate ornaments accenting the upper curves. This combination of mahogany, segmented mirror glass and gilt-brass mounts is consistent with period overmantel designs documented in late Victorian and Edwardian furniture. The warm reddish-brown mahogany retains a pleasing polished surface and strong grain, while the brass fittings provide an elegant neoclassical contrast. Condition shows age-appropriate scattered surface wear, small scratches and finish abrasions to the wood and mounts; importantly, one upper section of the mirror glass is visibly broken with loss and radiating cracks near a brass rosette, and additional minor wear is present to the remaining plate. Despite the glass damage, the piece retains considerable decorative appeal and architectural presence. Measures 25"H x 53"W
