Structural Design:
Central Mirror: A large, rectangular glass panel sits flush in the center frame.
Top Cornice: A prominent, projecting mantle shelf runs along the top, supported by small wood corbels.

Decorative Details:
Carved Wreaths: Two identical oval ribbon-and-bow vertical wreaths are carved into the wood panels above each side shelf.
Ornate Corbel Brackets: The small shelves and top ledge are supported by decorative scroll brackets.
Side Wings: The bottom corners feature carved, rounded wing embellishments that anchor the frame against the wall.
