This striking vintage retro chrome decorative wall mirror with ribbon motif is a superb example of 1920s or 1930s design. Made during the height of the art deco era, when chrome was very much in vogue, it carries all the sleekness of the period but with a softer, more traditional appearance that makes it especially versatile. The chrome decoration at the crest lends an air of elegance and charm. Surrounding the mirror plate are subtle tear drop frame details, which add further refinement to its overall shape and balance.

The bevelled mirror glass is original to the piece and is a testament to the quality of craftsmanship of the time. For its age, the glass is in remarkable condition, retaining both its clarity and its depth, with the bevel edges catching the light in a way that modern mirrors rarely achieve. To the edges, there are some patches of black which merely add to the vintage authenticity. This combination of durability and design flair makes it not just a practical mirror but also a decorative highlight for the home. To the reverse is a long chain that allows you to hang and adjust its height to suit your preference.

The glass is imposed onto thick sturdy board and is securely held in place my metal clips.
