I looked long and hard for just the right porthole mirror. One that looked vintage & realistic. I even considered porthole mirrors in the $800 price range because of their larger size. So, I took a chance and purchased this mirror and I'm so glad I did!! The "rust" detailing is just enough to make it look old and authentic. What really gives this one the edge is it's beveled glass. I also love that it also has a "worn silver metal" look on the high points. The only thing I wish is that the company would offer a larger size in the same pothole style. It is that beautiful! Don't hesitate to purchase this one to give your home that perfect nautical touch!
