Dear Joe,
Thank you for updating your inquiry with images of this vintage mirror. I could be a bit more precise in my evaluation if you included images showing some of the decorative details in better focus as the quality of workmanship and condition are important determining factors in arriving at a specific evaluation, but as it stands...
The scroll-work decoration is likely gilded gesso and for this evaluation, I will assume it is in good condition and has not been repainted. Because of the materials used on the back of the frame, it appears that the mirror has been replaced, this will affect the value. Similar examples of c. 1900, rectangular, gilded floor mirrors sell in the range of $50 - $100USD.
Thank you for submitting to Mearto.
Sincerely,
Erin-Marie
