Its tall, narrow proportions were intended for placement between windows or over a console, where the mirror would help reflect light into an interior. The bold combination of gold and black gives the piece a dramatic presence that works beautifully in both traditional and collected modern spaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe giltwood frame is arranged like a classical facade, with ebonized columnar elements, molded capitals, rope-twist borders, and a projecting cornice decorated with black ball ornaments. Above the mirror plate, a raised gilt fruit basket featuring a pineapple, grapes, and foliage is set against a gold panel with an ebonized base. The aged mirror plate adds softness and character to the formal composition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mirror is in nice antique condition with expected wear and patina from age and use. There is visible age-related cracking, scattered finish loss, wear to the gilding and ebonized decoration, and deterioration to the paper backing. The mirror remains a handsome and highly decorative example of Federal-period craftsmanship. 36h x 21w x 4d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocal delivery available for a fee or pick up Westfield MA \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease contact me prior to purchasing with delivery address if you would like the item shipped to you.
