This is a large Art Deco butterfly, a stylish piece from the period. This mirror consists of five individual pieces, a colourful centrepiece and four silver sections that make up the wings.
The centrepiece is a champagne colour and is designed as the body of the butterfly. It has deep scallop edges around the top and the bottom of the section.
The four wings are designed from silver mirror pieces. They have a deep scalloped edge around the outside of the wings and a traditional bubble effect on each piece
This Mirror is in lovely condition with no nibbles, chips or deep scratches other than the normal age related patina (see pics). The reflexivity is very good too.
All five pieces are mounted on a wooden backboard and attached with traditional metal clips, the original fixtures and fittings are on the rear also.
