“This Mirror has Moved With Us”

We bought this mirror almost10 years ago, but I didnt think of leaving a review. This is a meticulously crafted mirror, and we had assumed the mirror would deteriorate over time (as do many mirrors sold these days). However, this mirror has stood the test of time, and we were so enamoured of the design, that when we moved, we specifically told the buyer that the mirror was coming with us. The nickel surround has not tarnished and the item is still beautiful.
