A fantastic and extremely rare pair of George III period gilt Carton-Pierre and giltwood oval mirrors in the manner of John Linnell. Each mirror is gorgeously hand carved with meticulous detail and fine craftsmanship. The giltwood borders are designed with foliate crests above female masks, with aprons centered by a standing or recumbent left facing lamb. It is extremely rare to find a pair of mirrors of this date and in such amazing untouched condition, the mirror panels are most probably original and date to the late 1700s. Provenance: Jeremy, Ltd., London England, circa 1770 Carton-pierre, literal translation from the French - cardboard stone, was developed in the 18th century specifically to imitate wood and stone. The Formula typically included flour, chalk, sawdust, sand and plaster and bound with wax, resin, animal glues or gum arabic. The material could be moulded, bent and otherwise formed into the desired design. Preeminent makers like Gillows and John Linnell began using carton pierre in the late 1760s. The new material allowed for lacey decorative spandrels and festoons that could be made into nearly any length or shape required. These elements and the particular foliate umbrella canopy on this pair of mirrors relates to designs of William and John Linnell. The most famous example of this crest element is on the mirror supplied by Linnell to the 4th Duke of Beaufort for the State Bedroom at Badminton House...

A George III Giltwood Pier Mirror In the Manner of Thomas Johnson An exceptionally detailed design; the superb carved decoration housing a shaped rectangular plate and undulating mirrored borders; the inner frame closely tied to the outer frame and leading the eye around the mirror. The grandiose masterful carving incorporating C-scrolls, flowering branchwork, stylized icicles, acanthus leaves, and distinctive architectural follies and figures which firmly place this mirror within the canon of Johnson's greatest designs. The confident execution is a great testament to the technical prowess and artistic creativity of one of the greatest carvers and designers of the eighteenth century, circa 1760. Provenance Edward Cecil Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, Farmleigh, Co. Dublin, (1880?-1927); The Earls of Iveagh, Farmleigh, Co. Dublin & Elveden Hall, Suffolk (1927-2018). Thomas Johnson (1723-1799) Thomas Johnson was one of the most skilled carvers and furniture designers in Georgian England. Drawing inspiration from the Fables of Aesop, the rococo, China, and the idealised rustic life, his work is whimsical, exuberant and witty. Chippendale borrowed freely from his work. Johnson was a founder member of the 'Antigallican Society', a group who excoriated the French taste. In addition to its relation to Johnson's designs, this mirror also reflects the influence of Lock, the great master with whom he worked for a period. Lock published many sketches and pattern books, including A New Book of Ornaments for Looking Glasses in 1752, introducing several idiosyncratic features which Johnson would adopt such as the small decorative urns...

There are mirrors… and then there are George III giltwood mirrors that seem to have been listening to history for the last two hundred and fifty years. This exceptional George III gilded walnut mirror with etched glass insert is the kind of piece that doesn’t merely hang on a wall — it presides. Crafted during the late 18th century, when Britain was flexing both its empire and its taste for refined neoclassicism, this mirror embodies everything collectors seek in authentic Georgian period furniture: symmetry, grandeur, and unapologetic ornament. The richly carved walnut frame, entirely hand-worked, is lavishly dressed in original gilt, glowing with that warm, mellow patina only centuries can produce. The gilding has softened to a dignified luster — not brash, not flashy — but the sort of gold that whispers of candlelight and formal drawing rooms. The crest is an exuberant flourish of scrolling acanthus, rising confidently above the rectangular mirror plate like a coronet. Each corner erupts with deeply carved foliate scrollwork, perfectly balanced, yet lively enough to avoid stiffness — a hallmark of fine George III design. What elevates this mirror beyond the ordinary is the exquisite etched glass insert in the upper cartouche and side panels. Delicate floral urn motifs appear as if frost has settled permanently into the glass — romantic, refined, and entirely period-correct. It is these subtle decorative touches that separate a true antique Georgian mirror...
