An antique bar mirror in molded gilt gesso frame, flanked by two stencil-decorated tin portrait plates, circa 1910. The plates are "Dresden Art Plates" by the Meek Company (Ohio), imagery for pre-prohibition liquor advertisement.

The frame measures 13 1/2" x 45".

Condition

Poor condition. There are losses to the frame's gilt gesso molding, spots on the mirror glass, and a good amount of oxidation to the plates.
