Drawing inspiration from an American girandole (1817)—a type of ornamental candleholder popular during the nation’s Federal period (1788–1825)—this mirror features an antiqued gold finish and convex mirror glass. The intricate eagle finial and candle arms reflect the decoration on the original in The Met collection, illuminating any room with timeless elegance.
HISTORIC PROVENANCE
The Mirror Girandole echoes the elegance of a girandole (1817) in The Met collection, made for the Albany townhouse of Stephen Van Rensselaer IV (American, 1786–1868). Popular during the American Federal period (1788–1825), girandoles featured candle arms that extend from the frame, allowing light to reflect off the convex mirror and illuminate the room. Our interpretation of the mirror captures the timeless sophistication of the original in The Met collection.

Care instructions
How to care for wood veneer
Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.
To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:
Cleaning and maintenance
Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.
Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
