18th-century Early American Federal Mirror

Within John Derian's curated collection of antique art and mirrors is this gilded mirror. Known for their carved giltwood frames, federal mirrors were often decorated with eagles, spheres, or laurel. Both functional and symbolic, they reflected the new nation’s neoclassical taste and its fascination with refinement and symmetry.
