a vintage
finely detailed ornate
silver over copper
easel backed
beveled oval
table or wall mirror
with blue velvet back
no maker's mark
but stamped to bottom
of easel:
MET
measures 11" tall
9.5" wide and almost .75" thick
mirror section measures
7.5" by 6"
in very good to excellent condition
with a light short scratch
to mirror at 10:00 and
an even smaller one at 12:00
(most likely a diamond ring)
as well as the silver wearing
quite evenly
at the high points showing
the copper base
looks almost intentional
and actually highlights the fine
detailing
there is a hook on back
if you wanted to hang on wall
the easel works fine but
you may want to add a chain
or something to keep the easel
from opening too far and possibly
falling flat
else, no damage, dents or repairs
-from a well heeled
estate in Malibu-
a great quality piece! ("0)
