[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 409063, member: 8569"]All is said about the age of your mirror, use it and like it as said!! They are some single steps with a mirror to see if it's old, very old or recently mounted and newly made, you have to look at the surface from an angle about 45°(not very important)from the sides, if the image is good or perfect it's a recent production mirror(after that they are a lot of things to know his age), when you look closely on the sides between the wood and the glass you have the reflect of the dust and the result of the numerous cleanings and waxing which appears clearly. When you have a good faker it put some brown or black wax on the sides to reproduce age but its too regular and it do be clean on the superior part and degressive to the bottom due to gravity which is near impossible to reproduce.[/QUOTE]
