Chinese "Turandot" Mirror

Like a fanciful stage prop from Puccini's Turandot, this (late) Mid-Century Chinese mirror is fanciful, exotic and a little theatrical.  The pierced and carved wooden frame is lacquered and embellished with touches of golden paint.  Carved tassels hang along the top and the bottom.  And the mirror peeks-out from a cinquefoil opening—reminiscent of a spring plum blossom.   (23" x 13")   mr13058d
