A trio of 20th century wall mirrors featuring varying decorative styles. The collection includes a large rectangular mirror in a Rococo revival style ornate molded frame with a gold-gilt finish, decorated with high-relief scrolling foliage, floral motifs, and acanthus leaves finished with an inner beaded border. A second large rectangular mirror is designed in a Venetian style with a frame constructed from multiple sections of beveled mirror glass, featuring a double-banded border and square corner medallions. The third item is an octagonal wall mirror with a composite frame in a silver-gilt wash finish, featuring an inset border decorated with a faint floral pattern in pastel blue and pink. The reverse of the octagonal mirror carries a white rectangular adhesive label which reads 21723, SILVER W/ P. BLUE FLORAL, 30 DIAMOND MIRROR. This lot comprises the three mirrors only; the plant, wheeled cart, and other workshop items shown in the background are not included.
