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.
