The frame is built from four sturdy turned-wood rails, each carved and lathe-turned to convincingly mimic the nodes and smooth sections of bamboo cane, joined at each corner with the characteristic cross-bar construction that lets the rails extend beyond the glass on all four sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood has aged to a warm amber-honey tone, and the overall effect is both graphic and welcoming -- the kind of object that earns its place in a bedroom, an entryway, or above a console without demanding attention. The mirror glass is original and retains a slight age to its silvering that adds depth rather than detracting from its usefulness. Pieces like this were a staple of the French bourgeois interior and continue to be sought after for their ability to sit easily in both rustic and more refined settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. One small chip is visible at a lower finial tip, and light surface wear is present on the frame consistent with honest use over many decades; the glass is intact and presents well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall approx. 18.9 in wide x 24 in high (48 x 61 cm); mirror glass approx. 11.2 in wide x 15.9 in high (28.5 x 40.5 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58684616868184,"sku":"FMF-UUDTJ27B","price":266.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/3c4127574daf0aeac54ae7adc27fc019.jpg?v=1791374208","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-faux-bamboo-mirror-0710265","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
