CHIPPENDALE MIRROR WITH CARVED PHOENIX

Offered by: Jeffrey Tillou Antiques

Description
Label on verso reads George Kemp & Sons, London
A classic design for a fully developed Chippendale mirror with a scrolled arch pediment surmounted by a carved eagle on a plinth above the original glass plate, and applied foliage carving above a shaped drop panel. Absent a label, it can be difficult to distinguish American mirrors from their English counterparts without wood analysis.
