Chinese Wood Mirror

A plain dark frame and a clean pane, with no distractions allowed.

This elm wood mirror is from China, and is contemporary. Bronze mirrors were made in China from ancient times, and in later centuries glass mirrors set in wooden frames and stands became common. Tall rectangular mirror set in a narrow reddish-brown frame with softly rounded corners and a smooth polished surface. The glass is clear with a pale gradient of reflected light across it. It is 30.5 inches long, 1 deep and 44 high.

Modest in dress, thorough in reflection.
