Gothic Revival Gilt Brass on Wood Wall Mirror with Glass Stones and Latin Phrase

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'.

  • Antique Gothic Revival Hand Carved Oak Wall Cabinet with Green Cathedral Glass
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Unique and striking Gothic Revival wall cabinet with perfect working lock and key. This handcrafted and probably unique Gothic Revival wall cabinet from the late 1800s is another one of our magnificent recent finds. The size, the quality in the large amount of hand-carved Gothic details, the patina and the excellent condition make this another perfect purchase for collectors of this ancient and highly decorative style. The overal design, including the Gothic church window in the door, is right up there with the best we have seen to date. However, what makes this Gothic work of beauty really stand out for us, is the combination of the patina of the light tiger oak and the perfect condition, green cathedral glass panel in the door. That combination truly is a joy to look at. The door, by the way, still opens and shuts tight perfectly and it comes with a perfect working lock and key. Have you also noticed the original, gilt bronze lock plate? That is a work of art in its own right. The clean inside of this cabinet comes with two removable, solid oak shelves and the inside of the door is veneered with a wonderful bird's eye maple. On the back of this unique and antique Gothic cabinet...
