I'm thinking of buying a 'syrup of figs'

[Bonefish Blues]

I don't know.🤔 I can see similarities with these.

I don't - the frame treatment's really heavy and is in wood, where A-D really wasn't, being more frameless or metal framed. I'm no expert, but as I say, it doesn't look typical of the style.

Even if it isn't an original,it's in good condition for £35. Do i need or want it though?🤔

This. It's sort of like an art nouveau frame in a deco shape. Hideous.

Avoid @Accy cyclist. Buy half a sock or whatever £35 will stretch to in your clothing budget.

Art nouveau gradually developed/changed into art deco. This mirror could be classed as being from the 'transitional period'.🧐

I know Accy is a bit like Mr Ben - as soon as he closes his front door he is whisked back to 1933. Sadly, on this occasion he appears to have accidentaly typed "1973" into the keypad.

There's a deco Facebook group where people would argue for ages if that mirror is deco or nouveau. 😄

Nouveau it can't be surely. It looks quite old and used to me.

An acquaintance of mine has winter and summer syrups.

At one changeover he claimed he'd had a haircut.

 

[Kempstonian]

I like Nouveau. I don't like Deco. Acanthus leaves rule!

I'm in the local park with the Russian doll.😬

I also bought a pharaoh from the charity shop for £1.50. I'm thinking of painting it bronze.🤔

 

[Chromatic]

Paint it gold and have your own Tutankhaccymun exhibition!

Now do be careful what you get up to as less broad minded folks might complain

Spotted outside the same charity shop this afternoon.

They want a whole 50 quid for it!!
I thought it said £5 at first. That's about as much as it's worth! Rusty and heavy as a blacksmith's anvil!! I know because I picked the thing up to test it's weight.🧐

Offer £5 that's quite near to £50.....and certainly nearer than £4 is.
