Regency Period Gilded Pier Mirror with Lion’s Mask, early 19th century

About the Item

REGENCY PERIOD PARCEL GILDED AND POLYCHROMED PIER MIRROR WITH CARVED LION'S HEAD Probably England, circa first quarter of the 19th century Item # 307YEK13A A fine early 19th century pier mirror in the Neoclassical taste, it is beautifully developed with complex arrangements of decoration throughout. The projecting crest features a very crisp arrangement of intricately detailed leaves with a variety of berries interlaced on rising sprigs, these situated over repeating bead applieques. The top features a recessed green-painted panel with a finely carved Lion's mask surrounded by gilded relief that moves outward into trumpets. The mirror features a beautifully developed border of oak leaves with a single acorn between each. A very powerful presentation with bold motif, it has a delightful aged aesthetic with the very old worn gilded surface throughout revealing rich colors of gold, bronze, underlying red bole and hints of the white gesso throughout. Measurements: 57 7/8" H x 25 7/8" W x 4 1/8" D Condition Report: Old replaced glass with silvering losses throughout including scratches to the silvering behind the glass in the lower portion; the glass has not been examined outside of the frame, but at some point during the 20th century a panel was added to the reverse; old gilding with significant wear throughout revealing the underlying gesso and wood; extensive old worn inpainting and regilding that has overall aged with the surface to create a wonderful overall patina; painted sides of the frame with chipping/flaking; green panel paint layer refreshed at some point in the 20th century. A very nice presentation.
