    IMG_6092.JPG IMG_6090.JPG IMG_6091.JPG IMG_6093.JPG Grabbed this from a yard sale because it was cheap and I like the design. But no idea who and when made it.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Don't know who. When looks like the 1960s or 70s.

    I would look to the late 1940s, very early 1960s - there appears to be more thought in the design and craftsmanship then a later, mass produced piece where the design and quality were skimped on for cost measures....

    But that's just my humble opinion.......................

    I don't know but I like it. I am on board with a post-war through 60s date.

    Sunburst mirror. From France and Spain. (Yours looks Spanish.) Major design trend in 1990s. Probably still are. Widely reproduced now but yours appears to be original to period. 1950s/1960s. Excellent find.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    This is great -- Although the finish on the metal looks a little distressed, that should be able to be fixed, right?

    I was thinking the same about the finish, but the 1st Dibs one in the link has the same distressed look. (Described as ...."a very beautiful vintage patina".) Good marketing. ;)

    I wonder if whatever finish the maker used tended to wear off? Can't imagine it would have had a distressed look in the 1960's.... or???

    Very cool in any case. I've never seen similar. Nice find.

    Used to collect those. Distressed finish is original. Adds to charm.
