About the Item

Either side of the eagle he is flanked by carved acanthus leaves. The case for the mirror section is circular with balls on the inside in a circle with ebony stringing and a convex mirror. The mirror is the original and has all the ‘signs’ you want to see of natural aging for a piece this old. On the base of the mirror the acanthus leaves on the top of the mirror are replicated with a central floral style central carving. It is in near mint condition !!! Federal furniture refers to American furniture produced in the federal period, which lasted from approximately 1789 to 1823. Notable furniture makers who worked in the Federal style included Duncan Phyfe and Charles-Honoré Lannuier. It was influenced by the Georgian and Adam styles, and was superseded by the American Empire style. Pieces in this style are characterized by their sharply geometric forms, legs that are usually straight rather than curved, contrasting veneers, and geometric inlay patterns on otherwise flat surfaces. Pictorial motifs, when extant, usually reference the new Federal government with symbols such as the eagle.
