Gilt Bridal Mirror with Bird & Quiver Crest

A bird sits at the center of this bridal mirror’s openwork crest, framed by crossed quivers, leafy scrolls, and a flower on either side. The crest rises well above the rectangular glass, while a narrow beaded border draws the eye back to the reflection. The gold finish has softened along the raised ornament, and scattered dark specks in the glass give the mirror some of the character that comes with age.
