George III Chippendale Carved Giltwood Mirror

About the Item

An English Chippendale-period carved giltwood mirror. Mid-18th century, ca 1755. Flanked, in a delicately-shaped frame, by carved fruit, bold C scrolls and foliage: very typical of this period. This sophisticated antique mirror dates from the height of the eighteenth-century rococo fashion in England. It retains a good deal of its lovely soft water gilding, with a later but old mirror plate. In superb condition throughout. Literature: Ralph Edwards CBE FSA, 'Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture', Hamlyn (Fourth edition 1972) p. 365, illustration 46, for a very similar mirror dated 1755. Geoffrey Wills, 'English Looking-glasses: A study of the Glass, Frames and Makers (1670-1820)' Country Life Ltd, London (1965) p. 90, illustration 70. (Messrs Mallett & Son Ltd). Also see p. 95, illustration 83 (Messrs. John Keil Ltd)[sic]. Percy Macquoid, 'A History of English Furniture', Antique Collectors’ Club Ltd, Vol. I (1904) p. 318 fig. 723.
