Enormous Vintage Victorian Painted Mahogany Over Mantel or Wall Mirror Light Green.

Enormous Vintage Victorian Painted Mahogany Over Mantel or Wall Mirror Light Green.
This is a very impressive, imposing mirror.
It would originally been the top half of a huge Victorian sideboard.
The large length of wood to the bottom is an addition and the very thick backing wood is attached to this, where it used to be attached to the back of the sideboard.
The bottom length of wood is very chunky so you could probably get it cut down, but frankly I wouldn't bother as the whole frame is chunky.
This is an incredibly heavy mirror, it must weigh in at approximately 50 kilogrammes, so the quality is very high.
The main carcass is made of pine and mahogany. All the decoration is solid mahogany. It is of the most outstanding build and quality.
This will work either as an over mantel mirror, or frankly anywhere else in the house.
It's just been painted in a light green, what appears to be a cross between gloss and eggshell. Whoever painted it made a pretty good fist of the job. I would describe the finish as very good, although in particular to the top there are some alien bumps that they have just painted over. To the centre of the low stretch of word there is a very slightly protruding circular mark.
The finish is very good, although there are a few blemishes which you can doubtless touch up. Importantly though I am alive to the fact that you may well not like the colour, but as it has an existing finish to it you really only just do to add more paint to the colour of your choice and not have to do any preparation work.
There are a couple of mirror plates to the back which would be inadequate if you are wishing to attach it to the wall. This has obviously recently sat on a mantel piece, which would have taken all the weight and the plates would merely have stopped it from leaving forward and creating one almighty crash, as most of the huge weight is due to the thickness of the original glass.
The original glass on the whole is very well preserved. There are some minor blemishes and some black spotting in places, but on the whole for an old mirror, the spotting merely added a bit of character and authenticity.
This is an absolutely amazing piece. Admittedly it will be a bit of a effort to hang, or of course you may want to paint it. This is an amazing piece of furniture, to live with for decades to, and of course due to the size the reflection will add more light and the feeling of space in your room.
