"The peacock blue of this silk wall covering makes a bold and colorful contrast to the more subtle bone-colored bookcases. It gives a strong and sophisticated feel to the room yet still works beautifully with the softer, more feminine pinks. " -- designer Markham Roberts

Federal style incorporates the neoclassical influences of Hepplewhite and Sheraton including straight and delicate lines, inlay and contrasting wood veneers. Characteristics include slender legs, very delicate decoration, and symmetry. Many doors and entrances are often framed by columns and framing over the door.

 Federal style flourished between 1785-1820 in America and was in fact influenced by the Empire style in France, and the Roman republic, which the United States believed it resembled.

When looking for a convex mirror be sure that it is carved WOOD, and not plastic. I am sure that would be obvious to most of you.  I once drove an hour to look at at a mirror, and didn't think to ask if the mirror was plastic or wood. The plastic mirrors, are just as beautiful, but not as valuable. BUT, if you want to just decorate, get a pair of the plastic ones, then foil the mirror with Gold leaf. Why not? (Mirror to the left The Federalist Antiques)
