French Large Oval Oak Framed Beveled Mirror

44"H x 35 1/2"W x 1 3/4"D

Capture the romance of the Roaring Twenties with this striking French oval wall mirror, a sophisticated study in Art Deco materials that balances early 20th-century elegance with rustic warmth. A testament to the transitional style of the era, this piece marries the organic character of solid oak with the cool precision of industrial design.

The substantial oak frame showcases a rich, visible wood grain that grounds the piece, featuring a stepped, beveled profile that highlights the timber’s amber tones. Crowning the oval is an intricate, heavy brass appliqué detailed with stylized swags and geometric motifs—a masterful contrast of burnished metal against natural wood. The original beveled mirror plate adds an architectural element, catching the light and framing the reflection with deep faceted edges.

This piece wears its history openly, serving as a soulful, atmospheric focal point for the curated home. The wood bears the honest scuffs and surface wear of a century of use, while the glass exhibits a moody patina and areas of silvering loss that vintage enthusiasts prize for authenticity. The reverse reveals the mirror's true vintage lineage with a solid wood backing and the original thick gauge hanging wire still attached. Free of cracks or breaks.
