18th Century Mirror Wall Sconce, Baroque Period

About the Item

A very charming early 18th century mirror with framework of gilt lead and a bronze candle arm. The cast gilt lead decoration is mounted on a wood base. This mirrored wall sconce is possibly Swedish from the Precht workshops and from the late baroque period. The gilt surface have a wonderful worn surface. Very unusual model. Burchard Precht (24 October 1651 – 26 February 1738) was a Swedish-German furniture maker and sculptor. He is best known for his contributions to Stockholm Cathedral and Uppsala Cathedral; he designed the altarpiece for Uppsala in 1728. Precht and his workshop also created other church furnishings, including epitaphs, and a large amount of furniture, primarily gilded tables, guéridons and ornamental frames for mirrors and pictures. He was very influential of his time.
