1920's - 40's Cockatoo 'n Butterfly Mirror

Collectibles : Vintage

 

If you can see yourself with a Cockatoo (and a Butterfly in flight) then this vintage mirror may be just for you! Made in the first half of the Twentieth Century of glass and wood, this vintage mirror features a fun loving Cockatoo on the bottom left who is playfully chasing a Butterfly towards the upper right. Both Butterfly and bird are etched on the reverse side of the glass (as is the border) resulting in a smooth finish on top. The mirror measures 22" x 13", with a thickness of .75". The board on back appears to be pine (don't hold me to it) and has a chain attached for hanging which is slightly rusty. The mirror is in good shape with no cracks. I do see a small chip on the bottom left, which is on the BACK of the mirror where the etching is, that shows up as a brown spot (see pic). There are also some light scratches (really hard to take a pic of, sorry) but nothing that will make you love this great mirror any less. The mirror is held to the board via metal clips and the whole is stunning, sturdy and uncommonly special. A fun Cockatoo sighting that you can reflect on day after day, betcha' love it!
