Chippendale Style Giltwood and Mahogany Wall Mirror with Phoenix Finial

A vertical rectangular wall mirror executed in the classic Chippendale style, featuring a rich mahogany or faux-mahogany finish with distinctive birdseye or burl wood graining patterns prominently displayed on the flat scrollwork. The frame is architectural in nature, topped with an ornate broken pediment or swan-neck cresting that centers a cast metal gilded eagle or phoenix finial perched on branch details. The top and bottom of the frame feature intricate fretwork or scroll-cut 'ears' and aprons, which are characteristic of 18th-century revival mirrors. The mirror glass is rectangular and bordered by a thin, gilded internal bead or liner that provides a decorative transition between the wood and the reflective surface. While modeled after Mid-to-Late 18th-century designs, the crispness of the scrollwork and the hardware visible in the reflection suggest it is likely a 20th-century reproduction of high quality, such as those produced by American furniture companies like Kindel or Baker. The condition appears fair to good, with some minor scuffs visible on the lower interior edge of the wooden frame and a consistent patina across the gilded elements. The mirror glass remains clear without significant silvering degradation or desilvering around the edges.
