An antique Neoclassical style carved and giltwood pier mirror In the French taste, late 19th or early 20th Century
Huge mirror. Was told from the old Jacksonville pier built in 1920s. There use to be an inside dancing hall restaurant at the end of the pier. This was the mirror behind the bar. They pulled this out before they demolished the pier after storm damage. It has had some damage along the way but gives it charm.
