<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 1605068, member: 738"]Welcome TIVCT! I would classify the style of your pier glass as Renaissance Revival, popular roughly between 1850-1880. I have seen examples of this mirror form in many larger Victorian homes, north, south, east and west. Individual style elements to attribute a maker or region are more in the realm of the furniture connoisseur and scholar. We do have a few on this list. Halsey's mirror is wall-hung and of an earlier style, Rococo Revival, a Francophile's dream. That style dates roughly 1840-1860 in the US, with many recurrences and interpretations up until current times. Here is a very brief overview of the American revival styles from the Met. If you want to do further research I would suggest contacting the curators at one of the larger eastern museums with American furniture holdings. Keep us posted, please! <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/revi/hd_revi.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/revi/hd_revi.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/revi/hd_revi.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
