<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JP007, post: 8682659, member: 80399&quot;]Hello again! Here&#039;s what I know: In 1990, when my stepdad was trying to get my mom&#039;s attention and ultimately marry her, he bought her this mirror and a big high back chair.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how much it cost, but I know from my mom&#039;s reaction and reading between the lines that it was a lot. The mirror part is 3&#039;2&quot; wide x 4&#039; high. With the frame it&#039;s 3&#039;7&quot; wide x 6&#039; high at its highest point.&nbsp; It&#039;s heavy. Somewhere between 60 and 70 lbs.&nbsp; It&#039;s very old. I think I remember them saying it was from the 1800&#039;s sometime and I believe it.&nbsp; Some of the parts are loose and there are some pieces of the wood missing, but overall it still feels very sturdy.&nbsp; If I had a money tree, I&#039;d take it to someone and let them restore it. It&#039;s kind of grown on me over the years.&nbsp; If this thing is hanging in a room, it&#039;s definitely the first place your eyes go. I&#039;ve had people tell me to take it to an antique consignment shop downtown, and even though I fully understand how helpful it is to be able to do it like that, there&#039;s something about the 30%+ that I can&#039;t bring myself to swallow.&nbsp; I may have to learn a hard lesson.&nbsp; Anyway, anything that anyone can tell me about this mirror would be very much appreciated.&nbsp; If you need more pictures let me know. Please excuse my dirty floors and probably lots of other stuff, my entire house is a work in progress right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the closest that I have found online. This one is beautiful in my opinion...and I&#039;m not a fan of gold. <a href="https://www.antiques-atlas.com/antique/large_regency_ebonised__gilt_overmantle_mirror/as527a856" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiques-atlas.com/antique/large_regency_ebonised__gilt_overmantle_mirror/as527a856" rel="nofollow">https://www.antiques-atlas.com/antique/large_regency_ebonised__gilt_overmantle_mirror/as527a856</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]428785[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]428783[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]428784[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]428786[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]428787[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]428788[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
