Pair of Late 19th Century Very Large English Oak Reformed Gothic Mirrors
About the Item
This pair of mirrors crafted in England circa 1870 have been fully restored with a completely new surface and structurally supported as the mirror plate is very thick and heavy. Made at a time of renewed interest in Medieval and Gothic artist guilds and with similar ideals as the PreRaphaelite movements in art. These would have been considered very Avant guard for the day. Made in a modified Gothic arch the sides are decorated with simple robust columns turned from walnut that are inlaid with bold bands of oak set with ebony dots. The top stretcher and base are likewise decorated with these same elements of dots set into walnut or oak sections of decorative raised panels or notched carved areas. The design and work is bold and simple seemingly very modern and forward-thinking for such a period. The choices of materials oak, walnut and ebony are unusual as well and set these apart as custom-made for a specific interior design project of the period. Acquired in England and amassed with other like furniture, art, and decorative goods to decorate the Manhattan and Greenwich Connecticut homes of Winestein Company and Miramax Founders.
