The Deshons were shipping merchants. Daniel Deshon had it built for he and his wife, Fanny, but she passed away shortly after the home's completion and it sat unoccupied for years, as Daniel took up residence in Hartford. In 1851, Lyman Allyn, who served as a regular sailor under Captain Daniel Deshon (father of the Daniel mentioned above) and later as captain for whaling vessels, purchased the house. It passed through the Deshon family until about 1931, when it was sold to the Hartford-Connecticut Trust Company to use as the residence of the Lyman Allyn Art Museum?ÇÖs first director, Winslow Ames, and his wife, Anna. From 1942 until 1956, the house was rented out, but then came back into the possession of the museum. Although it cannot be confirmed whether the museum still retains ownership."},{"label":"Associated Objects","value":"DAPC number 1965-0975 was erroneously assigned to this object."},{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Height 54 in.

The cornice is outlined in beveled molding. Eighteen small gilded balls follow the outline of the cornice and hang below its overhanging edges. The looking glass is divided into upper and lower fields, each defined by decorated horizontal and vertical frame elements set within rectangular blocks. Acanthus leaf-carved brackets project from the vertical rails of the upper field, just below the rectangular blocks. The upper horizontal rail, just below the cornice, has several rows of bead molding. The medial horizontal rail, dividing, the upper and lower fields, is painted with a rose and leaf design. The vertical rails of the lower field have engaged, reeded columns with fluted capitals. The lower horizontal rail has several rows of bead molding. Each of the six rectangular blocks has a circular medallion depicting the profile of a human head in relief on the center of the front surface.  The upper field contains a rectangular reverse-painted glass panel. The center of the panel is painted with a scene of a woman waving to ships sailing into a harbor. The scene is flanked with two four-pointed stars set within dark-colored diamonds against a cross-hatched light background. The landscape and the diamond elements are outlined against a light colored background. A narrow band of bead molding outlines the glass panel. The lower field contains a looking glass with wide, dark-color outline. A narrow band of bead molding outlines the panel."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"12/11/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Printed, paper label on back of mirror: [J.
