On this page, you'll find a selection of things to hang on your walls, including the pegboard immediately below, and two mirrors.
Shaker Pegboard- circa 1800's:
Pegboards like these were a staple in Shaker homes. They ranged in size from a few feet long to ones that spanned an entire room. They were used to hang everything from clothing and tools to chairs and other light pieces of furniture. As in this piece, most exhibited a small beaded edge and flaired tip pegs. The model shown here is a 4-peg pegboard, finished in Burgundy Red, and measuring 24" long.Price: $24 Other sizes available: 2-peg (12"):$12 3-peg (18"):$18 6-peg (36"):$36

This wall-hung mirror is typical of a style found during the Civil War period in America in homes of moderate-income families. Most were constructed with simple flat frames, rather than being curved or carved. The majority of the mirrors were painted, and were made of inexpensive pine or poplar wood. The outside simple rounded edge trim was probably added sometime later to add some style!
Shown here in Candlelight Pine and British blue, it is 24-1/4" h x 20-1/4" w. Price: $99.95
Cabin Mirror - circa late 1700's
This small mirror is a reproduction of one found in a settler's cabin in western Pennsylvania. It was originally painted with red milk paint, a color and formulation common to this era.
The mirror pictured here has a Lancaster Yellow finish, and measures 13'1/2"h x 8"w. Price: $32
