An early 20th century Art Nouveau nicely shaped shield or 'angel wing'  mirror.  This kind of mirror was often used in a hall or toilet and the actual glass area is small relative to the frame.  The wood is oak and nicely grained as well polished.  There are metal studs for further decoration and the edge of the wood is profiled.  A useful item and very Nouveau in style.

 

Nice grain and polishing to the wood.  Aging to the metal studs.  Some lines and aging to the silvering in the mirror, quite minor and giving that aged look which is often sought after.  Strengthener bar to rear to stabilise some shrinkage splits.  Surface good for period, some marks and wear but much less than average for age.
