Has anyone ever heard of a "Pier" or "Pierre" mirror?

Question

My mother bought a 1920's bungalow home and it's a mirror encased in a wooden floor to ceiling length structure. Her insurance agent said that they are usually found in mansions. At first look it reminded me of someone covering up a fireplace opening at one time.

Answer 1

A pier mirror is designed to go on a wall over a pier table or a console

table. Here is a web site that shows you what it looks like. Hope this

helps.
