A Handsome and Large Victorian Cast Iron Arched Window Mirror. Originally a reclaimed cast iron window from the old Brighton Aquarium and now repurposed as a mirror. The larger cast iron arch being split by two smaller inner arches with upper circular central pivoting window. A really interesting and historical piece that could be used as an outdoor mirror or a really eye-catching overmantel mirror. Great design and patina. The piece would also work well in a club, bar, restaurant or retail space.
The Aquarium was officially opened to the public by H.R.H. Prince Arthur in 1872, and has drawn more than fifty million visitors from both England and abroad throughout its long and varied history. It was built on a vast scale, and housed the largest display tank in the world, containing nearly 500,000 litres of seawater. It included a large octopus among its attractions, and, at the eastern end of the building, the Winter Garden flourished as a centre for concerts and recitals.A Handsome and Large Victorian Cast Iron Arched Window Mirror.
