Magnificent 18th Century Chinese Chippendale Ho-Ho Bird Carved Giltwood Mirror

About the Item

A superb 18th century Chinese Chippendale carved giltwood mirror of exceptional detail. The pierced foliate frame with climbing roses on architectural column elements of pagoda form, with a central Pagoda crest with stylized icicles above a large rose and flanked by a pair of Ho-Ho birds perched on C scrolls with icicle motifs. The center base with an attractive reticulated cartouche centered by a Venus shell surrounded by C scrolls and topped by a curved foliate frond. The mythical Ho-Ho bird is said to bring good fortune, longevity and wisdom, all highly desirable elements of a well-appointed home. The motif originally appeared in Asian decorative arts- ceramics, embroidery, woodwork. English 18th century cabinet makers began to include the Ho-Ho on the more prestigious commissions of furniture and especially mirrors, where the design would be most prominent and aesthetically pleasing. When placed at the crest of a mirror, the birds, with their curving necks, elongated beaks and flowing tails, visually lift the composition to an elegant, refined level. The icicles or possibly stalactites, reference the water element which attracts wealth and abundance. This mirror is in very good condition with beautiful original gilding, fine detail and exceptional design. If desired, the upper portion of the original silvered mirror glass panel which shows age appropriate wear may be replaced on request. Local delivery options are available. Please contact us for details. Victoria Winslow Intertrus Inc.
