Description:

An original c. 1800 American Chippendale mahogany mirror measuring roughly 12" x 21" is considered a highly desirable, "diminutive" period looking glass. While larger mirrors from this era are much more common, these smaller, smaller-scaled accent mirrors are far scarcer and heavily sought after by collectors for their versatility and charm. Period mirrors generally utilize a hand-planed secondary wood backboard (like white pine or oak) secured with early hand-wrought or early cut nails. The backboard will often show dark oxidation where it has sat against the glass for over two centuries. : Original glass from 1800 will be thin, showing natural distortions, air bubbles, and a characteristic gray/mercury tarnish or "sparkle" in the silvering. It is often set into a hand-carved, parcel-gilt inner liner.
