Federal Style Bull's Eye Mirrors are concave mirrors that have been a symbol of wealth and power for centuries. The shape of the mirrors would illuminate a room when it was lit by candles, so these mirrors predate the invention of electricity. The Federal Era ran from 1776 to 1806.
These mirrors were also known as “spinning mirrors” and were made of solid wood covered in gilded bronze and gold leaf. Some of these mirrors looked like portals on ships and were even more expensive when they were made from imported woods such as ebony. A mirror of this type, in excellent condition, could be worth US$ 10,000 or more.
