ANTIQUE MIRROR 18
Hand carved in Italy, circa 1820, this fabulous mirror features its authentic mirror plate and
a reeded frame design with ebonised wood and gilded detailing. Historically hardwoods,
such as walnut, were ebonised due to their higher content on tannins. However, it was
soon realised that lighter softwoods could also be ebonised by soaking them in tea before
treating.
