Not having the original, I turned to my collection of patterns and originals, and found an original I picked up at an HSEAD member's estate sale. I made two versions, both adaptations - one with a yellow background closer to the original, and one with red, and chose the one with red background to the stenciling for this mirror.

Another Panel for an Antique Mirror
I found a great mirror frame in original finish. It had stenciling on the divider, and striping on the balusters, something I rarely, if ever had seen before. Unfortunately, it came with an inappropriate replacement panel that was an attempt at simulating eglomise, and was probably inspired by a clock tablet, rather than a mirror panel.
