Dressing glass 1810 - 1815

"Dressing Glass" is a two-drawer dressing table with a tilt mirror, crafted by Thomas Seymour between 1810 and 1815. The piece, crafted in mahogany with brass accents, is characteristic of American Federal style furniture, known for its elegant proportions and refined detailing. The curved front, the turned legs, and the use of contrasting veneers are all hallmarks of the Federal period, and the dressing table's presence in the Metropolitan Museum of Art underscores its cultural and historical significance.
