Featuring an ebonized frame and an inner gold toned rim, the mirror glass bulges outward to offer a wide angle, distorted view of the surroundings. Historically, these mirrors were popular in 19th century dining rooms, allowing butlers to observe the entire table efficiently. Details 6. 25" W x 7. 5 H Convex glass, wood
