Description

Enormous Vintage Victorian Painted Mahogany Over Mantel or Wall Mirror Light Green.
This is a very impressive, imposing mirror.
It would originally been the top half of a huge Victorian sideboard.
The large length of wood to the bottom is an addition and the very thick backing wood is attached to this, where it used to be attached to the back of the sideboard.
The bottom length of wood is very chunky so you could probably get it cut down, but frankly I wouldn't bother as the whole frame is chunky.
This is an incredibly heavy mirror, it must weigh in at approximately 50 kilogrammes, so the quality is very high.
The main carcass is made of pine and mahogany. All the decoration is solid mahogany. It is of the most outstanding build and quality.
This will work either as an over mantel mirror, or frankly anywhere else in the house.
It's just been painted in a light green, what appears to be a cross between gloss and eggshell. Whoever painted it made a pretty good fist of the job. I would describe the finish as very good, although in particular to the top there are some alien bumps that they have just painted over. To the centre of the low stretch of word there is a very slightly protruding circular mark.
The finish is very good, although there are a few blemishes which you can doubtless touch up. Importantly though I am alive to the fact that you may well not like the colour, but as it has an existing finish to it you really only just do to add more paint to the colour of your choice and not have to do any preparation work.
There are a couple of mirror plates to the back which would be inadequate if you are wishing to attach it to the wall. This has obviously recently sat on a mantel piece, which would have taken all the weight and the plates would merely have stopped it from leaving forward and creating one almighty crash, as most of the huge weight is due to the thickness of the original glass.
The original glass on the whole is very well preserved. There are some minor blemishes and some black spotting in places, but on the whole for an old mirror, the spotting merely added a bit of character and authenticity.
This is an absolutely amazing piece. Admittedly it will be a bit of a effort to hang, or of course you may want to paint it. This is an amazing piece of furniture, to live with for decades to, and of course due to the size the reflection will add more light and the feeling of space in your room.
Please take the time to look at all the images to check the condition and always double check the dimensions suitable for you.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 13th August 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

All items at Vinterior are special and unique, and we understand that once they are at the Customer's place, they might not fit the space or just don’t feel right. This is why we offer a market-leading 100-day returns policy for purchases from Professional sellers after goods have been received by customers based in the UK and European Union. This means Vinterior customers can return their items for any reason up to 100 days from the day they were received.

If purchased from an Individual seller, a 14-day return policy applies from the day it was received.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
