Provenance: This mirror was from my family home. My parents were collectors of fine antiques with many Meissen, Rosenthal porcelain and fine furniture.
Beginning in the 1820s, the 18th-century rococo was the inspiration for a revival—actually a reinterpretation—of Parisian rococo design. The rococo revival was popular in England, on the Continent, and in the U.S. The American rococo revival, which flourished between about 1840 and 1860, is possibly responsible for the most distinctive furniture. The major characteristic of the this style was the "rocaille" work, also known as "Rococo"
