[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 1571949, member: 5170"]I love those stories, gregsglass. Such dedication and effort on your part. TIVCT, those lead (bronze?) mounts on the mirror - usually called ormolu - which you painted, show an appreciation of the undercurrent of French aesthetics in American furniture design at the time. The simple arch at the top reflects an awareness of north Italian design that surfaced prominently in the northeast U.S. in the 1850s, and was commonly found in that region from the 1850s through about 1870.[/QUOTE]
