Chinese Scrolling Vines Mirror, c. 1850

About the Item

This 19th century framed mirror was carved by hand in northern China and likely hung on the wall of a Qing Dynasty home, perhaps in a lady’s sleeping quarters. The carved scrolling vines have a delicate, feminine appeal and the linden wood offers a warm, intimate glow that has aged beautifully with time. The beveled mirror has recently been added.
