    An incredible pair of reverse painted late 18th / Early 19th century Nuns' mirrors, probably southern Germany or Austrian. These stunning pieces are in superb original condition, one depicting the Holy Trinity, and the other Saint Martin.

    Saint Martin Mirror Height 15 cm x Width 9.5 cm



    Price is for the pair of mirrors.
