Antique Mirror with a new frame!

I found this antique mirror when my parents were packing up their things for a move.  It had been stored since our last move (13 years prior), and was antiqued when we acquired it from the previous owner of our house in Maryland.

The frame was still all in one piece, but was chipping and brittle, the corners were pulling apart and the mirror's backing needed to be replaced.  The mirror glass, however has a nice 1 inch bevel and just a few minor scratches, so I decided to take it all apart and put a new frame on it.  It's amazing how different framing can produce such different results!

The original frame was a ribbed, simple wood that had been painted white with a light green wash.

I chose something a little more ornate: a highly detailed wooden frame in silver/grey carved pattern with a dark (almost black) edge.
