<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barbara W. Preston, post: 1611435, member: 13943&quot;]Instead of painting the gold ormolu mounts, next time just clean them with mine[ATTACH=full]232691[/ATTACH] ral spirits and then use some baroque guilders wax in gold that best matches what you have. The ormolu mounts would stand out better and be better conserved because the wax can always be removed if needed.</p><p>As to the other mirror, the 175 pound oval carried around on public transportation, at the Richards-DAR House Museum there is a similar oval mirror that was shipped to Mobile to a wealthy family in 1850, one of a pair of mirrors.&nbsp; After the war, both were sold and the one was bought by a local doctor whose descendants sent it to the museum after it had hung at Continental Hall the headquarters for the DAR in Washington, DC.</p><p>Well, I&#039;m sorry but I cannot seem to get the pictured turned around or placed in the correct place.&nbsp; I was thinking that since I know 1850 was when this mirror arrived in Mobile, then 1850 would be a good date for the one Halsey has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
