[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 241358, member: 44"]Good work, Greg! I have a pair of smaller gilded gesso molded eagle crested oval mirrors that were passed down to me. They are more ornate with each topped with a spread eagle and grapes with leaves draped down the sides. The gilding has been redone dozens of times. I'm not sure they date back to the Federal era, but definitely to the mid 1800s. Some day when I get my act together I'll post a query about them in hopes of better dating them. --- Susan[/QUOTE]
