    Recently purchased this little one, it's cute. Does anyone here have an idea about its age? 2014-07-03 11.20.25.jpg 2014-07-03 11.20.50.jpg 2014-07-03 11.21.14.jpg 2014-07-03 11.21.28.jpg 2017-01-27 01.31.54.jpg 2017-01-27 01.31.30.jpg

    Looks 1890s. People will want to know dimensions.

    I'm torn between late 1800s and 1970s Florenza style.
    Silver plate - the peeling for old plate seems strange.
    Red cardboard backing was used in the 1970s dresser mirrors.

    Can you find any marks? Try wiping it down. Don't polish it just take a cloth and move it like you were polishing, you might find the marks.

    Either way it is attractive.

    Hi Pat,
    I am leaning towards the 1970s also. I am getting an Italian vibe but looks more French. Without touching it in person I can not say for sure one way or another.

    What's the glass like? In terms of foxing, thickness, back finish and general vibe. That might give you more of a clue.
