This sophisticated wall mirror showcases a fusion of Federal and Chippendale styles from the early 19th century. Its frame is crafted from rich mahogany veneer, highlighting the beautiful wood grain typical of the era. The design features a broken pediment topped with a carved, gilded eagle—a symbol reflecting Chippendale’s influence and a patriotic theme common in Federal pieces. Fine scrollwork and a gracefully curved apron demonstrate the skilled craftsmanship that blends Chippendale’s decorative flair with the Federal style’s focus on balance and elegance. Gilt accents around the mirror glass add a refined touch, while the original glass has aged to a soft, cloudy patina, enhancing its authentic character. Once a striking feature in a formal parlor or entryway, this mirror remains a distinguished example of early American design, ideal for bringing historic elegance to any classic or period-inspired space.
Condition:
The frame exhibits age-appropriate wear, with some veneer cracks and minor losses, which add to the mirror’s historic appeal. The gilded details have developed a pleasing patina, further enhancing its antique character. (please refer to photos & videos)
