Large German Black Forest Carved Mirror with Bird Motif from the 19th Century

About the Item

This large late 19th century French mirror is set within a rectangular carved Black Forest style crested wooden frame. The intricate decor is composed of beautifully detailed openwork intertwined vines with leaves and grapes while a bird with its spread wings just landed on the crest. The artistically distributed foliage is highly decorative and the very naturalistically carved bird brings an unexpected and charming presence to the piece. This wooden German Black Forest style mirror, circa 1880 would be a wonderful accent on any wall, perhaps in a country house.
