This absolutely beautiful self-standing Barbola mirror has such gorgeous colouring and shape, as well as many imperfections. It would bring such a special vintage appeal to your space.
Barbola mirrors originated in England during the 1920s and gained popularity throughout the 1930s and 40s.
They are typically made with a round or oval mirror, often with a folding stand at the back, designed to sit on a dressing table. The frame is often decorated with a floral design, sometimes using hardened gesso or other materials to create a raised, textured effect.Due to the materials and the age of these mirrors, they often exhibit signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, chips, or missing pieces.
This piece is complete but does have a fragile nature to its frame. The bevelled mirror is in usable condition with beautiful patina.
