Details about  Carved natural oak overmantle bevelled mirror with shelf poss Scandinavian

This is a beautiful vintage or antique natural oak (I think) carved overmantle mirror, complete with shelf detail.

We have had this mirror for over 10 years. It came from an antique shop in the Scotland. From memory it was sold as being of Scandinavian origin but I cannot be sure.

It appears to be of solid oak construction (it certainly does not look like pine or anything else). We were drawn to it because of its rather charming but simple design, it's neat shape and size and also the colour of the wood which matched our fireplace at the time perfectly.

The dimensions of the mirror are given below - the metric measurement is accurate; the imperial is more approximate.

• Height (at centre) - 87 cm or 30.5 inches.
• Width - 77.3 cm or 30.5 inches (NB this measurement is taken at the widest point which is along the bottom. The bottom section of wood is very slightly wider than the rest of the frame, but only by @ 5mm at either side)
• Depth (at shelf, so including the 70mm shelf depth) - 9.4 cm or 3.75 inches.

The condition is generally good but note the following:

1. Photo 8 - There is a crack in the panel above the shelf starting at the right hand edge and running inwards to a length of approximately 28 cm. The crack is only approximately 1mm at its widest. It continues as a fine crack to the left hand side where the wood is not actually split.
2. Photos 6 and 7 - the top two corners of the frame have a vertical split downwards to a length of 10-12cm. These are only visible when looking at the frame from the back, or directly from above. From the front, they cannot be observed. These cracks do not really compromise the frame - it is still solid and will hang perfectly well.

Also, the mirror itself was replaced about 3 years ago by a specialist in Walgherton near Nantwich, Cheshire after the original broke in a house move. The mirror was custom made to match the original including the bevelling and cost a little over £100.00.

This item is in Disley, Cheshire, SK12. I have listed as collection in person because of the mirror! I would not be willing to send by standard courier but you are welcome to arrange a man and van courier to collect at your own risk if you wish, whereupon I would carefully pack it. Anyvan.com or Shiply are both good for reasonable quotes.

For anyone who is interested viewing is also very welcome with absolutely no obligation.

We are selling the mirror simply to replace it with something more in keeping with our current, more modern fireplace!

Any questions, please ask.
