rather than bought. The quatrefoil frame and deliberately distressed painted wood give it an authentically aged quality, avoiding the sterile feel of newer decorative mirrors. This works beautifully as a focal point above a dresser or anchoring a bedroom corner, particularly in spaces with period features or soft, muted palettes. The distressed finish does require occasional dusting to maintain its charm, and the irregular surface means it won't reflect light as uniformly as a polished mirror—which is entirely intentional to its appeal.
