Note du spécialiste

As determined by microanalysis, this mirror is made of spruce and basswood. Though these woods do occur occasionally in American furniture of the period, the label on the backboard refers to a gilder in Newcastle and suggests an English origin. See David L. Barquist, American Tables and Looking Glasses (New Haven, 1992), pp. 203, 295.
