Antique Eastlake Victorian Wall Mirror-Incised-Ebonized Crest-Wall-Gilded-Column

Handsome late-19th-century Eastlake wall mirror, c.1880s, from the American Victorian Aesthetic Movement. The frame shows classic Eastlake traits—incised gilt linework, ebonized accents, turned pilaster columns, and a scalloped architectural crest. Warm reddish hardwood (likely walnut or cherry) surrounds a rectangular mirror with a gilded liner; original plank back and hanging wire present. Sized for an entry, mantle, or bedroom (41 x 22.75 x 3.25 in), it blends beautifully with traditional, cottage, and grandmillennial décor. Eastlake design, popularized by British tastemaker Charles Eastlake, favored geometric carving and honest construction over heavy Rococo ornament—an enduring American favorite.

Condition: sturdy and displays well; old repairs and touch-ups to the top crest as shown; scattered finish wear, minor age marks, and expected signs of use. See photos.
