An old federal giltwood eagle convex mirror crafted from giltwood with an ebonized inner frame around the mirror.

Six ribbons adorn the outer frame, as well as decorative carved acanthus leaves are placed around the frame, at the top and base. The wood is overlaid with a bronze gilt, giving it an old, rich and elegant appearance. Based on construction, circa 1930-1940.See
