Mahogany Mirror. Restored. Mid 1800s
About the Item
Lovely Mahogany veneered mirror frame. Mahogany (likely Cuban variety as the grain is incredibly tight and vibrant) is overlaid on profiled spruce frame. Construction and veneer layout are consistent with Mid 19th century NY and Pennsylvanian school of craftsmanship.
Then I picked up this frame, original finish was deteriorated past saving option so the decision was made to perform restoration and refinishing for a due diligence of this beauty.
Frame was completely disassembled, repaired and later, French-polished with lemon shellac. Original mirror is reinstalled using traditional glue in blocks and hide glue.
Obviously the hanging wire was replaced as the old one rusted.
The mirror itself shows some age. There's a little bit of discoloration and a few spots. It is not terrible by any means but rather shows maturity and bespoke nature of the glass.
I am working on other antique mirrors from the same era. Please let me know if you looking for anything specific.
Thank you for looking.
