The French faux bamboo mirror format -- turned wood crafted to imitate bamboo jointing -- was a staple of provincial French interiors and is now actively collected on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is constructed from turned fruitwood, stained to a warm amber-brown tone, with incised rings at regular intervals simulating bamboo nodes. The four corner joints are a distinctive feature: the vertical and horizontal members cross and extend beyond the frame corners, terminating in pointed or rounded finials, a construction method typical of French provincial faux bamboo work. The overall frame profile is consistent throughout with no apparent warping. The mirror glass itself shows clear signs of age -- dark foxing spots, small areas of silvering loss near the edges, and minor surface oxidation consistent with original antique glass. No replacement glass has been fitted. The wooden frame shows light surface wear and minor patina consistent with honest age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal outer dimensions are 47.5cm x 41.5cm (18.7\" x 16.3\"). The mirror glass measures 32cm x 25.5cm (12.6\" x 10.0\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compact wall mirror with an aged mercury-style glass that suits a range of interior settings -- from country French and bohemian to eclectic vintage schemes. The foxed and spotted glass, rather than being a defect, is a characteristic valued by collectors of period mirrors. Suitable for display in an entryway, bathroom or over a small console.\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-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57611748114776,"sku":"324859844150_5FC1_308B_28EF__DB0","price":251.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_f1c9d17c-b300-4602-92ae-ca83ecad4f2c.jpg?v=1782970492","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/antique-french-faux-bamboo-wall-mirror-01072618","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
