Pier Looking Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pier Looking Glass by an unknown artist is a large, ornate mirror. The mirror has a rectangular shape with a decorative top. The frame is intricately carved with floral patterns and scrollwork. Two long, thin, rope-like designs run vertically along the left and right sides of the frame. A carved floral design sits at the top center of the frame, with curved scrollwork on either side. The bottom left and right corners of the frame feature scrollwork designs. The mirror appears to be hanging on a wall, with two thin wires visible at the top. The background is a plain wall.
