Dating to circa 1810, this giltwood eagle wall mirror would make a wonderful addition to any household. A large eagle, with wings displayed, sits atop a small round mirror, nine inches in diameter. The glass is encircled by a well-carved circle, consisting of a deep cavetto molding filled with raised roundels. A pair of large foliate volutes also adorn the upper part of the frame, flowing downwards to form an impressive, curled leaf beneath the glass. Our giltwood eagle wall mirror can be displayed in a smaller area, such as a hallway, bathroom, or entryway.
CONDITION: Good antique condition. Loss of silvering to the original glass, which is desirable. Traces of touchups to gilding. Commensurate nicks and losses, with light age separations. Not rigged for hanging.
