Vintage Syroco Wall Mirror w/ American Eagle - Mid century Brown w/ Gold Round Convex Mirror Federal Home Decor - Mid Century Wall Art
$67.50
A large mid century round mirror in a Syroco frame that has an American eagle on the top. This was made by the Syracuse Ornamental Wood Co. of Syracuse, New York. This company produced a large number of Syroco items that were very popular home decor pieces in the mid century. See NOTE below about the company.
The Federal style mirror is brown with a few gold/brown accents. The round wall decor piece features an eagle with spread wings on the top, curled embellishments with some leaf designs, and a bottom wide flower shaped piece that has 7 petals. The inside of the mirror has 13 slightly different colored round buttons that I believe symbolize the 13 original American colonies. The mirror is convex - it bows outward slightly.
This retro wall decor or wall art piece measures 20" tall x 14 1/2" wide. The mirror is about 1 1/2" deep.
The retro mirror is in nice vintage condition with no chips or cracks. The hook on the back is rusted but is still sturdy.
NOTE:
The Syracuse Ornamental Company, known as Syroco, was an American manufacturing company based in Syracuse, New York. They were best known for their molded wood-pulp products that resembled hand-carving.
Founded in Syracuse, New York in 1890 by immigrant Adolph Holstein, the Syracuse Ornamental Company (Syroco) specialized in decorative wood carving, especially for the local residential market. Products included fireplace mantelpieces and other types of interior decoration popular in late Victorian homes. To meet increasing market demand and sales opportunities Holstein developed a material looked and felt like wood but that which could be shaped, allowing multiple pieces to be produced through a molding process. The new product, which combined wood pulp brought from the Adirondacks with flour as a binder and other materials to give it strength, was extruded and then cut to fit compression molds, which had were made from original carvings in real wood.
