XLNT Vintage 1940's Gold Gilt MMA Federal Style Convex Bull's Eye Eagle Mirror.
This is a vintage (1940's) Federal style convex bull's eye mirror with large eagle and olive branch crest on the top, a matching olive branch on the bottom, and 13 balls around the frame signifying the 13 colonies. The original gold gilding is intact and in excellent condition (the entire frame is gilt, not painted). Included an image of a Feb 1996 Country Living magazine clipping that describes the styl...e and value of a similar mirror.
The mirror is in excellent original condition with very little wear. The gilding is in amazing condition. The gesso is complete with a few typical minor cracks from age, and nothing is loose. The decorative pieces on the frame (crest, bottom piece, balls) are all securely attached. The mirror glass looks excellent with no age-related spottiness or cloudiness; images are crystal clear throughout.
The mirror measures 32 1/2" H x 23 1/2" W and the mirror glass measures 18" in diameter. There is a sturdy hanging wire on the back for wall mounting. The mirror will be packed securely, double boxed, and fully insured during shipping
