This exuberant mirror almost certainly started life as a trade sign, perhaps that of a farrier. Farriers were blacksmiths who also shoed horses and it's not hard to imagine this sign, the shape of which suggests a horse collar, framing a sculpted or cast horse head and hanging outside a blacksmith shop.
Continental, probably German c. 1750 -
