George III Round Giltwood Mantel Mirror

About the Item

This elegant George III circular giltwood mantel mirror exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the late 18th century, during the reign of King George III of Great Britain. The period is celebrated as a golden age of furniture, with designs emphasizing balance and drawing inspiration from Ancient Greek aesthetics. The mirror is hand-carved with neoclassical designs, including a circular egg and dart pattern, scrolling acanthus leaves, bellflowers, and inner beaded molding, and it showcases thick and remarkably intact giltwork. Mantel mirrors, distinct from common household mirrors, are designed to complement fireplaces, adding structure and a welcoming atmosphere to any room. With its historical significance and opulent design, this mirror will enhance the elegance of a fireplace, guest bathroom, or hallway. Just about anywhere it is placed, it casts an aura of opulence. H=40 in. W=38 in. D=2 in. 50 lbs.

Circa 1760 English George III Folding Handkerchief Tuckaway Corner Table
Located in Chicago, IL
This is an elegant hand-crafted mahogany George III multifunctionality corner table. During this time, corner tables became popular, due to their multi-functional and space-saving characteristics. They easily transform into a square multi-use: tea table, card table, reading table, tea table, etc. Completely utilitarian and space-optimizing, it could be placed in any room and provide many uses. It features an isosceles triangle top with a rear drop leaf. The drop leaf, supported by a gate leg, swings out to expand into a square surface. An oval-shaped brass escutcheon on the plain frieze hints at a compartment. Indeed, opening the lock allowed the top to lift and reveal storage space. It rests on four marlborough legs, another stylistic element of the era. One can use it in a living area and store board games in the storage compartment or use it as a desk or tea table and put it away in a corner when done. Regardless of how it is used or where it is located, it will be a timeless classic of Georgian history...
