Reverse Painted Mirror Appraisal

Vintage Reverse Painted Mirror with Flamingo Scene

The item is a vintage rectangular mirror featuring a reverse-painted scene of two flamingos amidst tropical foliage, specifically palm trees, at what appears to be a water's edge. The mirror's surface is reflective, notably capturing the reflection of the person taking the photo, as well as a sign that reads "Everything! (Even sale items!)" and various other objects in the background, including what looks like a wicker basket and a metal box. The artwork prominently displays vibrant pinks for the flamingos, shades of green and brown for the palm tree and vegetation, and a light blue and yellow for the water and sky. The painting style appears to be somewhat stylized, indicating a mid-20th-century aesthetic, possibly from the 1950s or 1960s, aligning with the popularity of tropical motifs during that period. There are visible signs of wear and age on the mirror surface, including some loss of the silvering or paint, creating dark spots and imperfections, particularly near the top right and bottom left corners. The edges of the mirror are not framed but appear to be cut and possibly beveled, though this is difficult to ascertain definitively. The overall condition suggests moderate wear consistent with its age. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image.
