Period Federal Giltwood Convex Mirror with Hippocampus

Rare American Federal period giltwood convex mirror, the circular plate and reeded slip set within a boldly molded frame carved to appear like snake skin, surmounted by a carved laurel wreath and ribboned bow flanked by stylized leaves.  The undermount, a fabulous fantasy of a carved hippocampus or sea horse.

Very faded label on back reads:Spencer, Crane & Co, No. 120 Broadway, New York, & Spencer, Gilman & Co, Hartford, Conn
