[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 196559, member: 1296"]I went to the flea market today against my better judgment. Bad idea. I couldn't help but "gamble" and buy this mirror for 20$ without doing any research or realizing how big a job it would be to remove the silicone someone has used to "restore" it. The glass pieces are clumsily attached with black silicone and I don't think the black paint in the back of the mirror is original either. Or is it? Oh, and the bottom side is missing one of those ornaments. So are two of the upper seams between glass pieces. Now the questions: How old? What style? Is it worth the effort to restore it "properly"?
