Early 19C Large English Baroque Gilt Floral Wall Mirror
-
Description
PRESENTING AN OUTSTANDING AND MONUMENTAL Early 19C Large English Baroque Gilt Floral Wall Mirror.
English, circa 1810-20.
In classic ‘Baroque’ style with scrolling acanthus and vines in very ornate design and detail. Made of giltwood, pine, oak and gesso.
Early mirror, as is evidenced from the natural aging to the rear.
Very large in size, hence, the ‘monumental’ description !
58 inches foot tall and 49.25 inches wide and 5.75 inches deep. Very heavy being over 200 lbs.
This is a very high quality and very rare, period mirror, in great condition for it’s age.
The beveled mirror glass is probably a late 20C replacement, as unlike the frame, it does not have the signs of age with pithing to the mirror backing that one would expect with a period mirror. Also, the rear cardboard backing indicates a later replacement. This is not unusual, as these are functional pieces and the clarity of the mirror glass is important for daily use. Almost every period mirror has it’s glass replaced. - More Information
