About the Item

For the collectors of rare, beautiful, meaningful and usable Gothic Revival antiques. At the bottom of this strikingly colorful and stylish Gothic mirror is the Latin phrase Monstra Te Esse Matrem which translates to Show Thyself To Be A Mother. Since we had never heard of this phrase, we searched the web and this is one of the explanations we found: This Latin expression is addressed to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and means: Show yourself to be our Mother. It is taken from the ancient hymn Ave Maris Stella (Hail, Star of the Sea). When Jesus was dying on the Cross, He said to His beloved disciple: Behold your Mother. This ancient Latin prayer expresses our desire to receive Mary as our spiritual Mother too. We found that this phrase also is the motto of institutions in several countries and we are certain that many Christians around the world are proud to live by this motto. Also for that reason this striking, meaningful and all handcrafted Gothic mirror will never fail to impress. It is therefor too that this mirror is great value for money. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum height x width x depth: 25 x 20 x 2 inches. Height x width of the beveled mirror without the frame: 18.6 x 14 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
