This Victorian oval mirror Circa 1865-75 has a compo crest and pendant, side ornament, and beaded inner edge. Not an unusual form, but interesting in that it retains its original label:
Gillespie & Vose/Gilders/Picture Framers/151 Westminster
Street/Providence, R.I./Directly opposite 1st Universalist Church."
Street/Providence, R.I./Directly opposite 1st Universalist Church."
(Apparently this firm was connected with the well known "Vose Galleries" of Boston.
I have started the work on this, and will post again as it progresses.
