Description
Fill a room, matey. This one doesn’t hang on a wall so much as take it over. A big beveled glass sits inside a deep, glossy black frame with a stepped, castle-like outline, and every inch of it is worked: a scallop shell flanked by curling scrolls on the raised crest, a rope twist wrapped around the glass, egg-and-dart borders running down the sides, carved flowers and leaves tucked into each corner block.
The Captain says it came from the Red Nº 5, the famous and infamous Chicago club, a hot spot in its day. It’s super heavy and plenty big, the kind of mirror that makes a hallway feel like an entrance.
The black finish shows honest wear: rubs and chips on the high points and edges, a little white showing through at a few corners. Maker and age unknown.
Dock pickup only. She’s too big and heavy to ship, so bring a friend and a vehicle that fits her.
