19th Century Black Forrest Carved Mirror

A striking late 19th-century Black Forest–style wall mirror, carved in dark, richly patinated wood with dramatic barley twist columns and abundant foliate detailing throughout. The frame’s bold verticality and sculptural depth are characteristic of the Black Forest carving tradition, which prized nature-inspired motifs, skilled handwork, and architectural presence.

The mirror retains its original mercury glass, now beautifully foxed with age, adding depth, softness, and unmistakable authenticity. The carved leaves, scrolling elements, and turned columns frame the glass with a sense of movement and craftsmanship rarely seen in later reproductions.

This piece carries the weight and soul of true old-world work—equally at home styled atop a console, layered into a gallery wall, or used as a statement accent in an entryway, powder room, or study. A timeless and sculptural mirror that brings texture, history, and character into the home—where history truly finds haven.
