​

This handsome mirror most likely would have graced the home of someone of high social and economic standing as it has fine Rococo carving and a large piece of highly valued (and original) glass.  Surrounded by carved acanthus leaves and a modified egg and dart moulding, the glass is in very good condition with only a few of the expected blemishes associated with a mirror of this age.  

United Kingdom. Circa 18th century.

​

George II giltwood and gesso mirror with beveled two glass parts within a lattice and flowerhead decorated border. Frame is decorated with flowerheads and scrolling acanthus and surmounted by a central female mask within a shell motif. A similar mirror can be seen page 79, fig. 57 of Graham Child's World Mirrors, 1650-1900. The central stylized shell or anthemion surmount above a female mask is particularly similar to this mirror.  

England. Circa 1820.

​

This English Regency cheval mirror with brass urn finials, handle and casters on a mahogany frame retains all its elegance and charm from the period. The original glass has lost much of its silvering, reflecting on its past as well as the present.

Sweden. Circa 1780.

Swedish fruitwood mirror with ormolu mounts and finials. Fruitwood is framed by ebony inaly.

France. Circa 1870.

French giltwood carved crested  mirror with beeded and moulded carvings decorated with foliage motifs.  Original glass.

French, Neo-Classical, Walnut and Satinwood Mirror.  Frame is made of segments of walnut parquetry with satinwood motifs and inlays.  Original beveled glass mirror.

​

This French bistro mirror (in a later frame) has just the right "je ne sais quoi" that will dress up a spot on the wall--a fine example of the art of reflection. 

France. Circa 1810.

​

In walnut with ebonized trim, this stately mirror has exquisite lines and exemplifies the design motifs of the period. Burl walnut surrounds the glass that has survived more or less intact through two centuries and shows only a small amount of deterioration here and there. Grecian design influence starts at the pediment top flanked by ebonized urns above Spartan relief carvings and continues down to the delicate legs with paw feet.
