American Chippendale Federal Mahogany And Parcel Gilt Constitution Mirror

About the Item

A fine ca. 1780’s American Chippendale Federal wall mirror with a scrolling “broken pediment” which flanks a central pedestal holding a Ho Ho bird with outstretched wings standing on a branch springing from a bit of rockery. The pediment is nicely carved in low relief with conforming acanthus, terminating in rosettes with foliate pendants. The figured mahogany frame is gracefully proportioned and set off by gilt moldings with additional gilded leaf and flower pendant carving at the sides. The design is a close adaptation of similar English mirrors which inspired this Very good antique condition showing signs of age, with bright original gilding, good finish. Mirror plate is an old replacement with some desilvering and natural signs of age, surface scratches.
