Federal Mirror

In addition to being beautiful decor items, antique Federal mirrors are perfect for restoring the aesthetics of any room. The Federal era encompasses the period of 30 years following the establishment of the United States from 1776 to 1806. This period of time was characterized by Neoclassical architecture, furnishings, and decorative embellishments, which were common in Europe and Great Britain. Greece and Rome were the major influences during this time period. In addition to being made from hardwood, the mirrors were covered in gold leaf or bronze gilt. A federal mirror is symmetrical on both sides, as well as on top and bottom. As well as the rounded glass, the frames of these mirrors were embellished with symbols and finials of the United States. With candles, Federal Mirrors perfectly illuminated a room with their round, convex shape.
