The Victorian era was a time of great innovation and artistic expression in Britain. Mirrors from this period often featured elaborate designs and high-quality materials. Brass was a popular choice for mirror frames due to its durability and ability to be intricately worked into decorative motifs. The use of dolphin motifs in these mirrors reflects the Victorian fascination with nature and symbolism.
