A mirror that’s less about reflection and more about devotion. This American folk art frame, carved and painted by Stephen Huneck in 1996, wraps the glass in an endless procession of Labrador Retrievers—his most beloved muse. Set against hand-carved diagonal striations and washed in luminous gold, the dogs seem to circle in quiet reverence, an emblem of loyalty and joy. Huneck, the Vermont artist best known for his soulful carvings, furniture, and later his “Dog Chapel,” devoted his life’s work to elevating the companionship of dogs into the realm of myth. His pieces carry the tenderness of folk tradition, infused with wit and a deep emotional register. To live with this mirror is to live with Huneck’s singular vision—where the everyday act of looking becomes entwined with memory, companionship, and the comfort of being seen, not only by your own reflection, but by a circle of watchful, eternal friends.
