Based on your images this piece is in the Empire Revival style. The orignal American Empire style had it peak period of popularity 1815-30 and the Revival pieces like this one at the turn of the 19th Century, 1895-1910. The date on the back of mirror probably just indicates the mirror was replaced at a later date.
