Frame shows patina and oxidation with no visible dents or losses to the strapwork. Wood back has scuffing, old screw holes and wear from prior rehanging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Era\/Period: Design follows the British Arts and Crafts idiom of about 1900-1920, but this silhouette has also been reproduced from the mid-20th century onward; construction details here — a thin metal skin over a shaped wood form and uniform pressed strapwork repeats — are more consistent with a later decorative reproduction than with a hand-raised studio piece\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Provenance: Pencil or chalk numerals on the wood back, reading approximately \"27\" plus a second, less legible mark, consistent with a prior dealer or estate inventory number\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Subject: Oval wall mirror in the Arts and Crafts manner. No maker's mark, stamp or label anywhere on the frame or back; offered as Arts and Crafts style, not as an attributed Newlyn, Keswick School or Liberty and Co. piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the classic Arts and Crafts mirror silhouette — hammered ground, rope-twist border around the bevel, and cast strapwork mounts with ball feet set at the compass points — at a price that reflects an unmarked frame and a mirror plate with age flaws. The dark patina and the foxing at the glass edges give it the look collectors of the style usually pay a premium for, and the frame itself is sound with no losses to the applied straps. It hangs on its existing chain and suits an entry, a mantel wall or a powder room where the worn plate reads as character rather than a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VaultXL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64723450429811,"sku":"VXL-00496","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/6283\/3779\/files\/238e7ac1-8942-4531-a276-511dd1e97fde.png?v=1790180579","url":"https:\/\/vaultxlshop.com\/products\/oval-wall-mirror-arts-and-crafts-style-hammered-metal-frame-with-strapwork","provider":"VaultXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
