Mid-Century Modern Handheld Wooden Mirror Frame
Unbranded (Possibly Goodform or Woodmet style) · Art & Decor > Vintage Mirrors
Era / Decade
1960s-1970s; indicated by the organic, scalloped wood carving and tapered handle design typical of MCM decor.
Material
Likely solid teak or walnut wood; features a hand-carved textured surface with a natural oil finish.
Condition
Fair to Good; the wooden frame appears intact but the glass mirror is missing, and there is a visible dark circular water stain or adhesive residue on the lower frame.
Demand Level
Moderate; MCM home decor remains popular, but the missing glass makes this a project piece for a specific 'fixer-upper' buyer.
Resale Value

$15.00 - $35.00 (as-is without glass) / $45.00 - $75.00 (if restored with glass)
Estimated Retail Value
$45.00 - $65.00 (comparable high-end vintage reproduction)
Comparable Sales

Authenticity Indicators

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage/parts), eBay (broad reach), or Facebook Marketplace (local vintage enthusiasts).
Selling Tips
Market this as a 'Repurposing/Restoration Project'. Measurements of the inner diameter for the glass are essential. Use keywords like 'Boho Decor', 'Danish Modern style', and 'Wall Mirror DIY'. Removing the price sticker and lightly sanding/oiling the wood would significantly increase appeal.
