Stenciled Looking Glass

Two-panel federal mirror with turned and ebonized half-columns stenciled with gilt foliage and starflowers, and the pineapple motifs that were symbolic of hospitality and welcome. Beautiful soft surface, original back, with the only replacements the mirror plates themselves. And being able to recognize yourself in a mirror is perhaps not a bad thing. 31”H x 15½”W. Probably Connecticut, ca. 1830-1845.
