Bronze Luck And Longevity Mirror Replica (China)-Framed

Revamp your decor with the enchanting handmade artistry of this decorative Chinese mirror. In ancient China, before the invention of modern mirrors, bronze hand mirrors with beautifully decorated backs were used in daily dressing and grooming rituals. A bronze mirror has two sides, a reflective side and a decorative back side. Dating back 4000 years, these intricate mirror-back designs reveal distinctive ancient artistry and a significant cultural heritage. No wonder the designs have endured as an art form. These wonderful mirror-back designs incorporate more than beauty and simple decoration, however, as each exotic pattern contains deeper meaning. This good fortune and longevity design features two lucky birds depicted inside a scalloped edged design reminiscent of a flower, soaring among graceful vines. The intriguing decorative side of the bronze mirrors are reproduced in resin, protected beneath glass, and set into a 16.5 x 16.5 inch resin frame (depth 1.25 in.). It arrives with good wishes for health, happiness, and long life.
