A small rectangular wall mirror in a carved wooden frame with an exuberant leaf surround — overlapping pointed leaves radiating outward from all four sides, with incised vein detai l. The wood is pale mid-brown, unfinished or lightly waxed, with an open grain suggesting teak, mango wood, or a similar tropical hardwood. The carving has a folk art or artisan quality rather than a factory finish. The plate appears to be plain flat glass, set into a simple moulded inner frame. Likely Asian or African in origin — this type of leaf-carved mirror is produced across India, Bali, and West Africa. Mid-to-late 20th century. Decorative rather than functional given the small mirror plate size. Show more
