AmaZinG Ornate Top Crest Details...
I Love the hints of time~worn "silver loss patina"... It lends sooooo much character to the piece... I don't think I could buy a vintage mirror without it!
The ornate details are made of GESSO ~ a plaster of sort... It has taken on many a hairline crackling ~ YES!!! The old white paint, hairline crackling, & subtle chips here and there add soooo much unique vintage charm to this piece!*!*!
This ViNtaGe Mirror is hung on a wall adjacent to my large soaking tub... I LOVE MY TUB!!! A Chandelier hangs above... and I have a couple Seashell Candelabras surrounding the area... We're lucky enough to have outdoor privacy ~ allowing the shutters to be open during the day...
Here I am at Kane County ~ just minutes after I netted my AwEsoMe Find!!! I'm sooooo glad I forked-out the extra bucks for this one!!!
On Another Note... "REGRETS-LATER"... You know how sometimes you get home and are sooooo sorry you didn't purchase a certain vintage find???? - Because you've now found the perfect spot for it in your home??? ~ Well, a good number of you have emailed me to see if an item from one of my most recent sales is still available.... I'VE BEEN SELLING QUITE A FEW PIECES This Way!!! If you're local, I'm happy to hold it for you till you can come by... -OR- make an appointment to Shop The Garage!!! I'm also **Willing-To-Ship** smaller-sized items to those of you who live afar!!! My EMAIL is on the sidebar... LoVe to hear from YOU!*!*!
It is so beautiful. The reflection of the chandy is lovely. I bought a mirror whith cracks in the frame and Joe just didn't get it!

Just gorgeous, Jeanine. It looks perfect in your bath. Love your white. I agree the loss of silver makes it just right.

Great mirror! I need to spend some time sprucing up my place. I tend to put all my time into the shop and it's beginning to show at home - ughh! Maybe a great old mirror is the place to start?! Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteDo you wear green? If so, I have a vintage, beaded green sweater that's too small for me. Given to me by a ballerina. Shall I send it along with a dozen dried pomegranites? Amy
OMG i am so jealous! I would love that mirror!
ReplyDeleteSometimes things are just worth the wait! That mirror is imperfectly lovely!
