    I found this beautiful mirror (I know it was hard to get a good photo with flash - every angle I used lit up a different part of it instead of all of it (there's at least 1 without the flash - I will get one with it outside in sun but this thing is heavy!) at a friend's thrift store & paid $75 for it because it had just came in & I had first chance at it.
    But at home I noticed there is no name or maker's mark on the back & as far as I can tell on the front!
    Can anyone tell who made this? (please don't let it be homemade!)
    What is the style? / What should I call it when listing it? Deco? Surreal? Art Nouveau?
    It's the 3 B's - Big, Beautiful & a heavy Bugger!
    Thanks in advance for any help with it.

    I don't think that's old. But it does appear to be inspired by the sculptures of the Modernist artist Brancusi. Here's a version of his 'Sleeping Muse.'

    1980s or later, from the construction if not the design. No idea whodunnit, but if you like it and want to hang it have at!
