Vintage oval mirror. Originally gold but has been over painted with a more contemporary deep blue colour. It's a nice mirror or plate as it is known.  Heavy, well made item and a nice wooden back shows it has age. Would look stunning in bathroom or bedroom etc 72 cm wide 48 cm tall 3 cm depth
 
Reflective surfaces made of polished obsidian are the oldest "mirrors" in the archaeological record, dating back as far as 4000 BCE. The first evidence of mirrors as grooming tools dates to the 5th century BCE, in illustrations of elegant Greeks gazing at hand mirrors (these illustrations are found on antique pottery).
