As is common in New England, when you don't know what to do on the weekend, and the weather is decent, you go poking around antique shops. This time of year, the pickings can be slim, and many shops run big sales in order to move stuff. We wanted a day out, so went to southern Maine, where I found some more projects.
The mirror has damage, and a previous bad repair. I wanted the reverse glass painting, since, although broken, it was original, and I will now make a replica. I though the division of space with the blue side panels was awkwardly interesting.
The frame is actually a nice early frame, and has not been worked on. Well, except for the fact that someone decided they would keep the components together by pouring glue into the back. This should be fun.
