“A federal mirror, also known as a convex mirror, is a round, symmetrical mirror made of hardwood and covered in gold leaf or bronze gilt. They were created during the Federal Era, which lasted from 1776 to 1806, and were designed to illuminate a room when paired with candles. Federal mirrors often have frames that are decorated with symbols and finials of the United States.” less
