About this piece
A frame of dark rosewood for the daily ritual of checking yourself.
Chinese cabinetmakers made this table top mirror in rosewood in the 19th century. Mirrors on stands were commonly placed on dressing tables in the scholar’s and lady’s room. The rectangular mirror plate sits in a swivel frame, held between two upright posts with curled supports. A beaded border runs around the glass, and the base has a carved panel of flowers and scrolls. The wood has deepened to a rich dark reddish brown.
About 24 inches tall and 25 wide. It makes an entrance without raising its voice.
