American Federal Perio Looking Glass

To say that when you look at this mirror it takes your breath away would be an understatement This American Federal Period looking glass is a monumental masterpiece Carved wood , gesso & gold gilt with black ebonized coloums.The central focal point of the mirror is a basket of fruit & flowers in the crest flanked on either side by a gold gilt Eagle in a square reserve. The top crest as you can see is decorated with hand carved acorn finials. The black ebonized columns are decorated with applied plaster classical wreaths painted in a moss green color .The gold gilding is in a combination of oil & water for high & low burnishing .The mirror glass is in very good condition .This mirror dates from 1790-1810.It has had some minor restoration through the years , I always want to bestow blessing on the person who had the good sense to preserve such a fine & rare work of art. This is a true American Classical Beauty Measuring 48”Long x 22 ½” Across the bottom & aprox 28 ½” across the top. I know that the angle at which this mirror is presenting is a bit off, The mirror is hung so high up on the wall , that even standing on a ladder it is hard to reach
