When was this mirror made

I think the glass has probably been replaced as it seems newer than the mirror. And the plywood back panel I think has been replaced as well which would be consistent with that.
I don't know if it has the original paint or not. When I look at the front that seems like it could even be post war but when I look at the back and the carved wood it seems like it has quite a bit of age on it and could be early 20th century but I just don't know.
What do you think?

 

nice mirror !!!!!!!

 

You come up with some tough ones. Assuming you are correct about the mirror and backing being replaced, there are few clues to go on. The only thing I can say is that I don't particularly like how the shading in the crevices was done for this to be truly old. Consequently, I think 20th century. 20s or later. Possibly quite a bit later.

 

My thought too. 1920s-ish.

Just from a quick, totally inexpert look, only the frame itself looks to have any age.

 

Thats my sense too.
3 paid AI models on highest reasoning think its a late 1800s to 1920s frame with glass replaced, and repainted (without prompting/leading).

 

My read is 60s or 70s from the colour and style of the paint. Glass and ply back feels newer.
But the back of the finials etc feels too old to be 60s/70s

See this similar one on sale on Facebook. Looks like the same manufacturing style. (they wont get $3000AUD for it, but there was a similar one in a vintage shop asking 900 and it sold. So there are a few of these large mirrors around in Sydney, imported from somewhere in the past. With the brown paint and gold paint. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1477095417799870/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp:310728a2-9bc9-4aca-a51c-253bc3b7d193
