So I was cruising Craigslist the other day, and saw this amazing wood and gesso mirror, and the owner wasn't asking that much considering it was a 40 inch wide mirror.
It was made with gesso and wood; a century's old technique no longer used. It's just easier and much cheaper now to make frames out of resin.
This mirror had lots of age cracks.
I love all of this chippy detail.
I had this mirror on the wall in the dining room when I took these photos.
Since then, I found the most wonderful mirror at Round Top, and this one went donw. It will be the mirror in the downstairs bath of our new home!

Wow- That is a amazing piece, Anita. I would have snapped it up, too.
I see you got the same thing above that I did-I have seen it on most blogs I visited this morning...xo Diana
I know it will look beautiful in the new bathroom. I can't wait to see photos of the new house all decorated.
Amazing mirror! You have a beautiful blog. I'm happy to find you. I'm your newest follower!
Hugs,
Monica.
Love this mirror, it has so much charm and character. Enjoy it in your bathroom.

I love the aged look and all the chipped paint. This mirror has a story to tell, yet it seems to be a quiet presence on the wall. It will look lovely in its new home - can't wait to see those photos!
XOXO,
Meredith
I absolutely love this. The age adds so much caharm. I have one very similar but much newer and it just doesn't have the same charm!
Oh, wasn't this your lucky day? It is beautiful!
Such a beautiful mirror and the finish is perfect! Can't wait to see the new one! :)
Cindy
I'm liking old mirrors stacked on old mirrors which is odd given my age :-)
Anita, it's gorgeous! I love that we are all using vintage pieces with so much character in our homes. You found a jewel!
Pretty!!
What a great mirror-I can't wait to see it in the bathroom. Don't you just love a good find? I know I do
Anita,
While this mirror is absolutely gorgeous and will look amazing anywhere in your new home...where's the photo of the Round Top purchase, dear friend???
Come on...time for a reveal, isn't it???
Love that you lure us in. . . everytime, I fall precisely into your trap! Ha!!!
I'll be back, soon...very soon!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Lovely! I like it a lot.
Anita, this is a great one! I love the detail and the it's signs of age. You have a good eye my friend! Can't wait to see it in it's new home!
You always find the best stuff! I rarely find anything on there.
Such a lovely old mirror, Anita! It would be beautiful wherever you used it! Great find!
