A Tall Sheraton Gilt Mirror with Églomisé Glass Painted Panel and Original Beveled Mirror, Massachusetts, c.1800-18105

This mirror is rectangular and encloses an original
beveled mirror glass and an original églomisé glass painted panel depicting a
marine landscape in pastel colors. The glasses are flanked by spiral gilt
columns in a concave background. The mirror is crested by an overhanging
architectural shelf with spiral gilt friezes.

The gold leaf is in superb
condition so that the play of light is reflected brightly on the background of
the spirals within each vertical column. The base has a thinner spiral gilt
beading, and the corners are rectangular blocks with gilt border facades. This
mirror retains its original pine backboard and original gilding.

Height: 44 in. Width: 18 3/4 in.
