    It is basically a French Louis XVI style mirror but I also get a bit of a Beaux arts feel to it with that exaggerated garland draping and medallion at the top. A look at the back would help to determine age. Based on what I can see, I am thinking no earlier than the 50s and possibly as much as 2-3 decades later.

    The hardware isn't old but that could have been added on later.
    I'll let Brad comment .....

    The glass looks recent. Speaking of vibes, I would guess first couple decades of the 1900s. The decoration looks to be molded gesso. Any little bit of damage you could get a pic of? The frames I remember from the '70s and '80s were molded from composite.

    True - looks "newer" (70's/80's ?) tying to be made to look "older". The back of the top piece looks to be made from a composite/plywood material - kinda like the sheet of plywood it is leaning against.

    On the things I worked with, that top motif would not have had backing and would have been cast as a single unit.

    I think a bit earlier than I first thought. Maybe as early as the 20s and on into the 40s. I also think the mirror has been replaced. It is possible that the front has been refinished as well. The shading seen on the front is why I initially thought newer.

    Those pics sure make it look like composite wood solution poured into a mold with a back up of plywood!
    It (the moisture in the wood composite fiber) dried out too fast causing the cracks!
