Hi Maria,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The stencil stamp on the back (B.255.86.234.244) certainly gives clues as to who made this but unfortunately, there aren't good enough online databases of such markings. The style of this mirror is Italian Baroque and the backboard looks very modern - late 20th Century. While this mirror doesn't have important historical significance, its large size and design make it worth a FAIR-MARKET value $400-600 at auction; note that online retailers or private sellers with similar mirrors may ask higher RETAIL prices.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
