POSSIBLY BY ISAAC PLATT, NEW YORK, CIRCA 1835

With a frame constructed of four split turnings and tulip-carved corners, this mirror is very similar to a mirror labeled by Isaac L. Platt at the Munson-Williams-Procter Institute, Utica, New York (illustrated in Smith, "Architecture and Sculpture in Nineteenth-Century Mirror Frames," Antiques (February 1976), pp.350-9). For more on Platt see Betty Ring, "Check List of Looking-Glass and Frame Makers and Merchants Known by their Labels," Antiques (May 1981), pp.1178-1195.
