An Aesthetic Movement oak overmantel mirror elegant in its simplicity. With carved foliate detail and florally carved bosses on the oak frame the mirror is flanked by a pair of ebonised columns. The Aesthetic Movement, of the late nineteenth century, focused on pure beauty and 'art for art's sake' with an emphasis on the visual qualities of art and design over practical, moral or narrative considerations.
English, circa 1870.
