Antique Gold Leaf Mirror

We took this 200-year-old antique mirror with beautiful woodcarvings and transformed this into a stunning modern masterpiece. We do gold leaf mirrors a lot. So I wanted to post some before and afters of this beautiful mirror. It stood at 22 feet tall and more than 6 feet wide.
