Stars and Stripes Looking Glass

19th/20th C. carved walnut frame in the form of an American Federal shield. Liner is first gilt over gesso and stars and stripes paint decoration is entirely original. Ca. 1870-1920. 12" x 16". A related frame in cast iron is illustrated on p. 800 of The Index of American Design, but I've never seen another one in carved wood. Striking and possibly unique.

$2,200
