Item Details

Description

Civil War Miscellaneous
Reverse Image On Mirror Of Robert E. Lee
c. 1865 Civil War Era, Oval Mirror with Reverse Image of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, Choice Very Fine.
This wonderful, original Civil War era Oval Mirror measures 8” x 6” and has a decorative frosted outer rim, to help highlight the central chest-up profile image of General Lee who is wearing his military uniform, facing right. The back side has a felt padding for protection. We believe this piece was made during the war period. There is one trivial edge chip in the frosted portion of the outer rim. The central image of Lee is sharp, deep black with white piping and buttons. An impressive and very distinctive item for display. Possibly unique, being the first we have ever offered, or have seen anywhere.
