Antique 1930s Advertising Mirror – C.R Shoes of Bristol – Oak Framed Shop Try-On Mirror / Sign
A rare and authentic piece of retail history, this 1930s oak-framed advertising mirror once graced the interior of C.R Shoes of Bristol, serving as a try-on mirror in a traditional shoe shop.

This dual-purpose piece functioned both as a customer mirror and an in-store advertisement, making it a striking blend of utility and period branding. A brass cupped handle to the rear would have been used to make it easier to move around the shop from customer to customer.
