Mirror, Mirror!

Hello ladies!

Mirrors of all shapes and sizes have always been very popular in my shop, and I am always on the hunt for more!  So, I was beyond thrilled when I discovered not one, but two gorgeous large vintage mirrors at an antique mall last week!

The first one that I am going to share with you (after her makeover, of course!) is made of Burwood.  The second, which I will show you in a bit, is Syroco.  Of course, they both began life as "gaudy gold"!  So, are you ready to see my new glamorous vintage  mirrors?

 Here is just a sneak peek!

 See, I told you it was gold!

Aaaaahhh!  So much better, don't you think?  Isn't it amazing what paint and a bit of distressing can do?

If you are unfamiliar with Burwood, it is just like Syroco, and made of a heavy resin like material.  The details are so amazing, you would never guess that the frame is not made of carved wood!

 Here's another close up of the beautiful details.  Love!

 Here is the Syroco mirror, they are both so gorgeous, it's impossible for me to pick a favorite!

 More of that "gaudy gold"!

 The Syroco mirror even came with it's original hang tag, which I was very surprised to see!  For the past year and a half or so, I've become an avid "Syroco huntress" (haha!), and have never come across a piece with its original tag til now!  I'll show it to you in a bit.

 The Burwood mirror has gone into my Etsy shop, and the Syroco one is headed there next!

 Did you know that Syroco products, which were made in Syracuse, New York, were exact reproductions of the original hand carved wood pieces?  That is the reason they are so incredibly realistic looking in their details.  By the way, the name "Syroco" was derived from a shortened version of "Syracuse Company".

Here is one last look!
