Vintage LaBarge Faux Tortoiseshell and Gilt Framed Mirror
An exceptional late 20th-century wall mirror by renowned American luxury maker LaBarge (Holland, Michigan). Featuring a dramatic 42" x 30" profile, this piece features a deeply step-molded solid wood frame expertly finished in a rich, hand-applied faux tortoiseshell glaze surrounded by antiqued gilt leaf borders.
The deep amber and dark chocolate undertones of the tortoiseshell contrast beautifully with the warm metallic sheen of the gold leaf accents, offering an organic yet refined texture. The subtle mottling captures light effortlessly, making it a striking focal point above a console table, fireplace mantle, or dining room credenza.
