American 19th century carved gilt over mantle mirror

Neoclassical Revival overmantel mirror, American, mid-to-late 19th century (circa 1850–1880). Deeply molded and richly carved wood with classical motifs, including floral rosettes at the corners and acanthus leaf detailing with gilt (gold leaf or gilt gesso) finish that shows age-appropriate wear, contributing to its authenticity and value. Original glass, minor signs of wear and surface cracking consistent with age; overall excellent antique condition
