A Very Fine Federal Giltwood and Eglomise Paneled Looking Glass, New York, c.1810

This is one of the finest examples extant of the form.  It has the most desirable eagle in its original eglomise panel (all glass/mirror is original).  Note, above the central reverse painting, the lyre flanked by wheat stalks in carved urns.  This is the only example we know of which has a lyre as its top finial.  It doesn’t get better.  This is probably the finest example with no repairs or alterations whatsoever in the world of federal mirrors.
