Cozy cottage finds - A Federal Style Convex Mirror

I set out on a treasure hunt the other day and didn't know exactly what I might find.  I wasn't looking for anything specific when I started out on my journey, but I knew I would find something. I decided to stop at a few estate sales, a couple of thrift stores and perhaps a garage sale or two.  In my travels I was fortunate enough to find couple of interesting items like these French country style etched wine glasses.

 These gorgeous glasses were a particularly fabulous find because I had just acquired a new set of dishes by Mikasa called French Countryside and these glasses look very similar to the set that Mikasa sells at a fraction of the price!  The other item that caught my eye was this federal style convex mirror.

I hadn't seen one of these mirrors in a long time.  The last one I saw was back in the 1980s and it belonged to a relative.  That one ,however, was a Syroco and this one has a frame that is made from wood with some type of plaster (gesso?) overlay.  I think these mirrors look just wonderful in just about any room in the house and I find this one to be especially charming.  However, since I don't have the wall space for this lovely mirror, I am going to offer it for sale in one of my eBay auctions.  I will be sad to see it go but I'm sure it will be a stunning addition to someones decor.
