A Chippendale style mahogany wall mirror with Phoenix bird crest and gold inset, circa 1850-70. Minor separation from veneer on crest, otherwise very good condition. Measures 21 3/8" x 39". Provenance: This item was handed down to consignor's wife from either the Stotesbury family of Philadelphia - builder and part owner of JP Morgan in the 19th/20th century, or the Minturn families of NY - the consignor's wife's great great uncle was Col. Robert Shaw (the film "Glory") and her great great grandmother was Susanna Shaw Minturn (1839 - 1926) who gifted the land to NY that became part of Central Park. The Minturn family also owned the clipper ship "The Flying Cloud" and were leading merchants in NY City in the 19th/20th centuries.
