Description
I have to say this is a mirror that has left me confused slightly.
The easy bit is that it is a beautiful Victorian over mantel mirror.
The carcass is made of pine and it is covered in a moulded gesso and the actual main part is painted in an old light cream gloss.
The strange thing is the beautiful carved features. These are definitely Victorian as well and if you see the underside of the corner decoration you can see they are almost certainly made for this mirror however you will see the corner parts are just held in place by two pins so it does not seem quite right.
Condition report:
Although there are some surface marks to the paint, this is generally quite well preserved.
This is important because I'm not going to risk this being delivered with the carvings exposed as by the looks of it they have already been broken as there is evidence of them being re glued, I can assure you they are intact and perfectly sturdy though. So the three decorative carved features are going to be boxed and sent separately for safekeeping, the corner pieces are easy to re attach, you simply put the pins in the holes and I hope you can see this in the close up image I have taken.
It may be an idea to shove some No More Nails or something to the back of them, but presently they fit and attach fine. The top part is screwed in place to a couple of metal braces which are easy to reattach. So please don't by this if it is outside your skill set too reassemble but as I say I'm not going to risk them being broken.
I assume these were the original features to the mirror and maybe when it was painted in the cream colour the features were removed and put back in place in the way I have described. Certainly the current gold decoration does appear to be the original decoration so maybe the cream frame was also that colour as well and the carvings removed for the painting process.
As I say there are signs of wear on the main central carving which you can see in the image is where the gold has been lost and you can see the bare wood underneath. To both corner parts there are signs of then being historically re glued.
The mirror boasts the original thick Victorian glass, there is some spotting and other minor blemishes in between the silver and the glass and you will see about four inches from the bottom there is a black line behind the glass, heaven knows what caused that but I always think that these age worn blemishes actually add to the character of the mirror and with so many imported reproduction mirrors around, with this you really can just tell this genuine old beautiful mirror it has a solid pine backing and three metal mirror plates for attachment.

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.

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.
