Features an Eagle at the Crest and the Mirror is surrounded by 13 Balls. Note the spread eagle, the national bird of the United States, at the top of the mirror. This decoration was typical of the Federal style, which dominated American-made furniture from the Revolution through the 19th Century. The eagle symbolizes power, strength and freedom, which were particularly meaningful characteristics in the 19th century, when the nation was still young. It appeared on many types of furniture throughout the period.Federal style was based on Neoclassicism, which goes back to decorative motifs from Classical Greece and Rome.
