Bassett Mirror Info?

A decorative Bassett mirror.We recently became the owners of this very large 60" L x 38" W ornate mirror. It needs cleaned but I am trying to determine its style, age and possibly any thoughts as to value. The sticker on the back says Bassett Mirror Co, Inc. 6353-721 28x365. There is also a "Made in China" sticker so I think it was probably made within the last 30 - 40 years but I am unable to locate any similar mirror online. Any thoughts/would be appreciated. I have contacted Bassett as to style, etc., but have received no reply as of yet.

I believe your piece is pretty new. From what I understand, Bassett was made in the US through 2007. After 2007, they began using overseas factories and those are the made in China products.

I hope they will respond and confirm that with you.

Some people call this a baroque style, some renaissance, some may even call it regency. It almost looks like someone painted it and tried to remove the paint--that I can't really tell--but it has an odd look about it that does not remind me of the true finish--but it could be my old eyes--without seeing it in person I can't be sure.

Are you asking to sell it or just learn more about it?

Thanks for sharing!

The white/gray tints are actually years of dust buildup in all the crevices. I am hoping to sell it but it needs a lot of dust removed! It is so large and just will not work with our space. Bassett simply replied that the mirror was discontinued approximately 25 years ago but did not provide any additional info.

I believe it is Italian Provincial. A similar mirror is selling on Etsy for $295. www.etsy.com/.../vintage-bassett-mirror-company-gilt...

You want to sell your mirror. Then you need to find out at what price people buy these mirrors. I could not find a mirror like yours.

It is practically impossible to find a similar mirror. Write that you have Bassett Mirror Co. Large Wall Grape Vine Mirror, Gold Rococo Italian Renaissance style, 1970-80s.

I found a mirror #6310-414 that was made in Virginia USA: Bassett Mirror in a gold rococo Italian renaissance style frame, 1950 to 1970s, valued at $300 to $400 www.justanswer.com/.../eouw2-vintage-bexceptional-assett...
