<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 13124239, member: 5833&quot;]The large one is outside the scope of my experience.&nbsp; The sort of things I&#039;m thinking of are fairly small, usually well made (at least the ones that survive), little mirrors like yours, cameos in shadowboxes, painted miniature copies of portraits of famous beauties by famous artists or of works by Raphael, in faux ivory frames.&nbsp; Sometimes they are backed with paper that appears to be a page taken from an old Latin religious text, sometimes quite classy looking brocade fabric.&nbsp; I remember distressed looking frames were popular in the 60&#039;s, probably later too, maybe a reaction to the modernism of the 50s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
