Pre-Veteran's Day Americana Auction
Lot 73:
Description
This rare mirror is from a small group made in Boston during the period 1815 to 1825. They are distinguished by the rare composition panels at the top that feature adult and child figures. Our two are titled "Now listen to a pretty story" on the left and "Here the darling is awake" on the right. Winterthur owns a pair, one of which is illustrated in "American Furniture: The Federal Period" by Montgomery on page 281. Note that theirs are very similar with slightly different titles. Also note that this one is significantly larger and, therefore, more impressive. Dimensions: 52.5" Height 40.5" Length
Condition: In excellent original condition; mirror is a 19th century replacement. Some restoration would make this mirror exceptional
