[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 197516, member: 1296"]What's that? As I said there are exceptions and not everything was up to the same standard, even though many people seem to think that these days. I was thinking the mirror was about edwardian, roughly 1900-1905. The reproduction "warning signs" in the link you provided are specifically talking about cast iron: "Crude, rough casting [B]Old iron [/B]has a smooth, fine grained surface. [B]New iron[/B] is rough textured, jagged edged." The mirror has gilded brass or bronze details. When it comes to the finning, well, it's really not very bad and considering the kind of places it's mildly present in I've seen worse on an Edwardian piece. If you are however convinced that it's a reproduction, finding the exact same mirror online must not be hard as there are probably loads of them around. Thanks for your contribution.[/QUOTE]
