The looking glass features a bold acanthus apron, ebonized reeded filet, surmounted by an eagle bearing a ball and chain from its beak. Crystal candle bobeches are supported by Egyptian figural standards. The original wooden back survives intact, and the original mirror has been freshly re-silvered. Provenance: The estate of Dr. Ira Warner, "Restmore" Southport, CT.
