Is an old mirror framed in wood painted to look like verdigris worth anything? [View all]

It was my mother in law's from her house in Wisconsin. It is possibly late 19th century . It is a horizontal piece and the mirror is sectioned with verdigris painted frames and was hung above a chest of drawers in a bedroom.

We'll be downsizing and I'm doubtful my kids and hubby's kids need any furniture at this point.

good idea. Hubby and I are both 85 and he remembers it from his childhood in Wisconsin, so it's old. CTyankee May 14 #2

Probably not much. The younger generation doesn't seem to have the same appreciation for antiques Vinca May 17 #3
