About the Item

A substantial American Colonial Revival Federal eagle “bullseye” mirror in gilt wood, dating to the mid-20th century. The shaped crest depicts an American eagle above scrolling acanthus ornament, over a convex mirror plate encircled by thirteen turned wooden spheres—a classical reference to the original thirteen colonies and a hallmark of early Federal design. The frame is carved wood with gesso ornament and a warm gilt finish that presents with a pleasing, historic tone. The mirror has notable weight and presence, reflecting the quality of construction typical of the period. The convex glass produces the distinctive “fish-eye” reflection associated with early 19th-century examples. The composition, scale, and surface make this an ideal focal point above a mantel, console, or sideboard. It layers effortlessly into traditionally appointed interiors as well as contemporary spaces that benefit from sculptural historic elements.

Vintage Triple Oval Ornate Gold Wall Mirror Hollywood Regency
Located in Portsmouth, VA
This dramatic triple-oval mirror is more than a reflection — it’s a statement. With ornate scrollwork, sweeping curves, and rich golden tones, it evokes the timeless glamour of a Parisian dressing room or a grand European salon. Measuring 66 inches wide, the scale alone makes an unforgettable impression. Intricately molded acanthus leaves and interlocking oval frames create a sculptural silhouette that dances with light and shadow — elevating everything around it. Though crafted from a lightweight molded resin composite to mimic the look of hand-carved wood, the mirror offers the visual weight of an antique gilded piece — without the fragility of plaster or the heaviness of solid wood. The finish is a warm antique gold that adds depth and glow to any space. Attributed to Bassett Furniture and dating to the 1960s, this mirror is unmarked but aligns closely with other known examples from the era. It was previously styled in an upscale East Coast estate powder room, where it served as the centerpiece above a custom vanity...
