    What a beautiful and thoughtful gift. How kind of your parents to deliver this to the door.

    The craftsmanship looks excellent and, overall, it has an Art Nouveau appearance which we love. We are certain that you will find a very special place to display this most charming mirror and will surely smile in it every time you look.
