The design of the ornate wooden frame has an atmosphere reminiscent of 19th-century French antique mirrors. It may have been produced in Japan during that period, referencing such designs as Western culture flowed into the country.
Although there are no definite historical records, one of the appeals of old furniture and tools is finding commonalities with designs from distant countries.

The body consists of a wooden frame made of softwood, with delicate plaster ornamentation on its surface.
The black-painted frame features designs reminiscent of arabesque patterns.
The combination of wood and plaster reveals the interest in Western-style designs at the time.

The frame is adorned with hand-painted decorations.
Curving patterns, reminiscent of plant tendrils, are depicted, showcasing a delicate expression different from the plaster ornamentation.

The mirror surface is original from that period.
Having passed through many years, it shows minor scratches, dullness, and dirt, but as you can see, the reflection is clear, and it is in a perfectly usable condition as a mirror.
Hanging hardware remains on the back, suggesting it was once installed using these fittings.
As this item is heavy (16 kg), we recommend using appropriate new mounting hardware and verifying the wall's strength before installation if you intend to hang it on a wall.

The decorative parts of the frame show cracks and chips due to age and past use.
Since the decorations are made of plaster, they are more susceptible to impact than wood, and further cracks or chips may occur if strong force is applied.
We hope that these imperfections will be appreciated as part of the history passed down through many years, and as a unique charm of this mirror.
