19TH CENTURY FEDERAL EGLOMISE TABERNACLE MIRROR WITH LEMON WASHED GILT FRAME
19TH CENTURY FEDERAL EGLOMISE TABERNACLE MIRROR WITH LEMON WASHED GILT FRAME
With our compliments we are delighted to offer you this fabulous early 19th Century Eglomise Tabernacle mirror. This is a superior mirror with lemon washed gold gilt frame formed with carved wood accented by gesso relief. The eglomise panel is most interesting with a floral and ribbon motif and small squiggle designs in the background. Below it there is an egg and dart trim strip. The columns are well formed with various designs. The base mirror glass is original with a very nice patina on the glass. The upper panel appears to have been replaced in the later 19th century. We note a chip in the upper right side of the eglomise panel and some tiny gesso losses. This is no less a very important period American mirror with the best definition and original correct back board single panel. It is 45" tall and 24 1/2" wide.
