Antique Octagonal Wall Mirror with Oak Carved Wooden Frame and Bevelled Glass – Early 20th Century Vintage Decorative Home Accent

This beautiful antique octagonal wall mirror is an early 20th-century piece that showcases the quality and craftsmanship of its time. The solid wood frame is richly carved with an intricate repeating foliate and berry motif, each edge meeting at a crisp angled join to create the distinctive octagonal shape. The wood retains its warm, naturally aged patina, developed over decades, which enhances the depth and definition of the carving. The mirror glass is bevelled, thick, and clear, with a gentle, authentic sparkle that only period glass can offer. The silvering remains in very good condition for its age, showing only minor foxing and faint surface marks that are visible upon close inspection, adding to its vintage charm without detracting from its reflectiveness.

The back of the mirror features its original plywood panel and a sturdy old hanging chain, ensuring it is ready for safe and secure wall mounting. This is a versatile decorative piece that works equally well in a hallway, living room, dining room, bedroom, or above a mantel, where its unique shape and hand-carved detailing will draw the eye. Its combination of historic elegance, functional use, and distinctive form makes it a desirable addition to both traditional and eclectic interiors.

This mirror not only reflects light beautifully but also brings with it the authenticity and timeless appeal of early 20th-century British design. The beautiful vintage glass has a reassuring weight and substance, a quality you simply don’t find in today’s thin, often distorted modern mirrors.
