- Lot Description
American Federal Style Gilt Wood Wall Mirror with Carved Shell Decoration.
Size: 40 1/2 X 24 1/4 in.
#2754 .
Federal furniture refers to American furniture produced in the federal style period, which lasted from approximately 1789 to 1823 and is itself named after the Federalist Era in American politics (ca. 1788-1800). Notable furniture makers who worked in the federal style included John and Thomas Seymour, Duncan Phyfe, and Charles-Honoré Lannuier. It was influenced by the Georgian and Adam styles, and was superseded by the American Empire style. Pieces in this style are characterized by their sharply geometric forms, legs that are usually straight rather than curved, contrasting veneers, and geometric inlay patterns on otherwise flat surfaces. Pictorial motifs, when extant, usually reference the new federal government with symbols such as the eagle. The Oval Office grandfather clock, made between 1795-1805 in Boston by John and Thomas Seymour, is a noted example of the federal style of furniture. The Green Room in the White House houses the finest known collection of this style of furniture. Sadly, much of the furniture in this style in the original White House was lost when it was burnt to the ground by the British in 1814, but the surge of nationalism inspired by the event led to the continued interest in the style long after the end of the Federalist Party itself, mostly due to the death of its biggest proponent, Alexander Hamilton.
