Antique Tramp Art Mirror, Heavily Distressed Original Glass, Early 20th Century, Belgium
Tramp art wall mirror from Belgium, made in the early 20th century. The frame is of chip-carved wood with layered pyramid and notch work, with stepped corner blocks. It has a reddish-brown patina and wear consistent with age.

The frame is solid, with minor wear and a few small losses to the carving. It has been re-backed with new board and felt. A strip of the earlier Dutch-language newspaper backing has been left in place underneath, which came from Belgium.

Fitted with a wire for hanging, and it can hang in portrait orientation.
Dimensions: 42 cm wide x 56 cm high (16.5 x 22 in).

Condition: Distressed, with heavy age-related silvering loss, as shown in the photos. Please review the images carefully. See less
