The ornate wooden frame design has an atmosphere similar to 19th-century French antique mirrors. It is possible that it was produced in Japan at the time, referencing such designs as Western culture flowed into the country.

Although no definitive documentation remains, finding commonalities with designs from distant countries is one of the charms of old furniture and tools.

The main body consists of a wooden frame made of conifers, with delicate plaster ornamentation on its surface.

The black-painted frame features hand-painted decorations. Curved patterns reminiscent of plant vines are depicted, revealing a delicate expression different from the plaster ornamentation.

The mirror surface is original from the period. While it shows minor scratches, dullness, and dirt due to its age, as you can see, the reflection is clear, and it is fully usable as a mirror.

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.

Hanging hardware remains on the back, suggesting it was once installed using this hardware. As this item is heavy (16 kg), we recommend using new, appropriate mounting hardware and checking the strength of the wall when hanging it.
