About the Item

A charming example of French Tramp Art craftsmanship, this petite mirror dates to circa 1900 and stands out for its unusual arched crest and folk art-style painted detail. The frame is constructed in layers of chip-carved wood, methodically arranged to form repeating zigzags, diamonds, and rounded motifs that are both decorative and structural. Pale-toned insets alternate with warm brown segments to create an eye-catching pattern, while tiny rosettes punctuate key intersections with sculptural depth. At the top, a scalloped crown rises in a stepped formation, centered by a delicately painted stork standing beside a basket—perhaps symbolic of birth, family, or luck. This naive painted scene is framed with its own miniature chip-carved border, subtly elevating it as the focal point of the design. The mirror plate is in very good condition, providing clean reflection while keeping the original charm of the frame intact. Perfect for a hallway, powder room, or as part of a curated gallery wall, this piece blends folk tradition with sculptural appeal in a format that’s easy to place.
