Antique federal eagle gold giltwood frame with convex mirror in excellent condition . The lady down the street called me and said I’m moving come over and get what’s ever is left . Now my garage is fully packed
Its from the 1930's or 1940's for sure when these were popular again. If you had a Regency eagle mirror from the early 1800's the eagle would be almost alive and the head would be coming out at least 5 inches. I have one from 1815 and it is the exact one in Millers Antiques Guide from 1985.
I love your 1930, 1940ish one just as much. A lot of them were hung above the fireplace and that is where they look most astonishing. Great find. I used to have a reproduction similar to yours also. I still regret selling it.
Thanks for the info I see you very knowledgeable of these mirrors
