The style was called ‘Regency’ in England, ‘Empire’ in France and Italy, Biedermeier in the German-speaking lands,all of which were relatively similar, and the American ‘Federal’ style evolved directly from these.The creation of convex mirrors became possible with the development of glass blowing and their shape and style became so popular under the heading ‘Mirrors’, in Sheraton’s 'Cabinet Dictionary' (1803), that they are the only style mentioned.

The outward bending glass allowed the butler and servers to see the entire room while staying discreetly out of sight. Measures: Diameter 64, height 87, depth 8 cm. less
