vintage black lacquer mirror shadowbox shelf, ornate antique Victorian frame

Glass mirrored shadow box, 1950s vintage, crafted from an antique 1890s picture frame, very ornate. This was painted with glossy black paint, giving it a lacquer-like finish, which we love!

The frame measures 27" x 22 3/4" overall, and 20" x 16 1/4" over the 'box'. There's a wire at the back for hanging, I don't believe this was ever set into a wall.

The glass mirror has some wear to the silvering, and the frame has some chips to the applied gesso decoration, as well as some rubs to the paint.
