This is a fantastic convex mirror with gilded hand carved wooden frame. It is rooted in the Federal Period (approx. 1790–1830). These mirrors were status symbols in early American homes.
They are called "butler mirrors" because the convex glass provides a wide-angle view of an entire room. This allowed 19th-century butlers to keep an eye on the dining table from a distance without hovering.
There is a small chip on the bottom of the frame and a small repair shown on pictures, overall displays beautifully. The mirror itself is also in great condition!
