Mantel Mirror Value?
Ok, my wife hates this mirror. What is it worth? I have no idea. I think it’s original to the house, so that puts it about 1860. It’s huge. Also going to be selling the mantel as well. Intend to replace them with something my wife actually likes, and yes they will be period pieces,…

Intend to replace them with something my wife actually likes, and yes they will be period pieces, she just doesn’t like these (don’t get me started).
if you want to sell, 347-452-3640.
Old Baby,
Sorry, I was the one who started the whole wife thing.
Hey, there’s a “couch” on your furniture pages. Is that on old oil tank? Cool!
I think it’s all a moot point. I don’t think the mirror is original. In fact, it looks like a hallway mirror with the bottom removed and the proportions don’t really compliment each other (in my humble opinion).
Certainly old with new can work together beautifully. Designer here, too. BUT, if you remove the old, what is there to “juxtapose”? Take on the creative challenge of working with what the house has to offer and keep the damn thing.
it works if you know what you’re doing and you hire an architect who does brownstones.

also, I’m really an art director and my wife is a creative director.
how about this… I’ll post images, before and after.
oh they are both ‘designers’. lol can someone please write a sitcom based on brooklyn about two designers who are married and live in an old historic house but can’t decide on the decor? id watch it

that is an awesome full body jack off mirror. just sayin’

This rarely works but it really helps if you have a spare $500 million.
Ok, enough with the ranting about my wife. seriously. NOT FOR SALE! We’re both designers. It’s not that she doesn’t want a mirror or a mantle, she’s just not crazy about these. yes we’re eventually going to do a gut reno on this floor, most of the detail has been ripped out over the years. I like the idea of modern juxtaposed to old detail. it’s a great house. the mantles are marble. This is the parlor floor, the ceilings are 12′ so I’m guessing that it’s 8′ tall.
Also not planning on “flipping” the house. we’re here to stay.
