About the Item
ENGLISH ARTS & CRAFTS CERUSED AND POLYCHROMED OAK TABLETOP MIRROR
Circa the first quarter of the 20th century
Item # 403QEK18P
This distinguished early 20th century table-top mirror is a delightful object from the Arts & Crafts era, notable for its transparent construction and functional form. The mirror is crafted of oak which has been treated with a ceruse finish, a technique that highlights the natural grain of the wood through a whitewash filling the open pores. The polychrome accents are largely contained to the columns and add a subdued yet rich palette of color, a reflection of the preference for natural motifs and artisanal craftsmanship during the period.
The upper part of the frame features subtle, carved decorative elements which evoke organic shapes of flowers and leaves in bas-relief, typical of the Arts & Crafts movement's aesthetic, steering away from industrial repetition and celebrating the hand-made and distinct.
The twin columns flanking the mirror feature turned finials over a chaotic and angular fluting that moves geometrically around each column; they bring rich texture while not distracting from the sturdy and utilitarian character.
This mirror embodies the Arts & Crafts movement’s principles of good design and craftsmanship, the result being both practical and incredibly pleasing aesthetically. Its understated beauty and the warmth of the oak would complement an interior where the integrity of material and design are cherished.

- Large Art Deco Cerused Oak Display Cabinet Bookcase circa 1940Located in Shippensburg, PAART DECO CERUSED AND EBONIZED OAK DISPLAY CABINET WITH FLANKING BLIND BOOKSHELVES Probably German, as the locks are of German origin executed circa 1940 with chromed steel accents throughout Item # 401QGP02S A fabulous Art Deco era display cabinet, the substantial case piece features a glazed central door flanked by two blind-doors on either side. These open to reveal an adjustably shelved interior, the oak bars on the side allowing the 3/8" thick glass shelves to be flexibly changed to suit the books stored within. The central door features a chromed rim around the glass door that cohesively ties in with the chrome-plated keyhole escutcheons and the chrome base molding on the bottom of the cabinet. It was probably made in Germany, as one of the locks bears markings of German manufacture, though the craftsman may have simply had a preference for this locking mechanism and imported it. Note the high-grade of cabinet work throughout - all surfaces have been carefully veneered with a cerused and ebonized oak, the interior of the center display area with a red-stained cerused oak and the interior of each flanking cabinet space lined with mahogany veneers. Importantly, despite the incredibly spacious proportions, the entire cabinet can be disassembled for safe transport. The top is removed with bolts on the inside corners...Category
