Specialist note

The mate to this grand convex mirror can be found in the collection of The Portland Museum of Art (1984.351). The museum attributes their mirror to John Doggett (1780-1857), a clock case, frame and mirror maker from Roxbury, Massachusetts. This pair of mirrors is thought to have been first owned by descendants of Elias Hasket Derby, the renowned merchant of late eighteenth-century Salem, Massachusetts.
