Description
Although the scale of this mirror does not match any of the known models in Stickley's catalogs, the construction and details are based on Mirror (no. 607) which he produced from 1901-02. The early date of this form probably means that it was in his Columbus Avenue house in Syracuse, prior to its arrival at Craftsman Farms, probably in 1910. While a photograph of the Dining Room published in The Craftsman in 1911 shows a mirror beside the large elm cabinet, this is not that mirror, that was a different mirror which was much narrower.
