[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 3587515, member: 5170"]Good job Shannon! There is something below the marble shelf. I can't tell what is; could you provide photos of the lower part? I agree with the person who provided the information in the link from INH. I'd estimate this pier mirror to be dated ca. 1890-1900. Pier mirrors originally served to reflect light and were placed between windows in parlors and sometimes in hallways. They died out as electric light became more common after the turn of the 20th Century. At auction your mirror might bring $500 more or less, depending on the venue and if there are any pieces missing.[/QUOTE]
