Antique Primitive Bevelled Glass Mirror in Original Dark Red Paint standing tintype frame with her face reminding mePhotos don't really capture the full character or color on this old handmade frame with its original square bevelled glass mirror, but I think it's really a beauty. The paint stain is a dark, sort of oxblood red and the mirror perfectly distressed from age but still reflective. Nothing on it ever touched I don't believe, with crusty accumulation in the corners. Found in New Hampshire and of New England I'm sure. Just shy of 8 x 8 x 3 8. Perfectly aged
