George II Giltwood Oval Mirror
About the Item
This is a William Kent period oval looking-glass from the 1740s or possibly 1750s. A pleasing design and well executed carving are almost over-shadowed by a quirky piece of whimsey - the visible area of glass is perfectly egg shaped. Not something we have seen before.

- Pr. George III Gilt Carton-Pierre and Giltwood Oval Mirrors, Manner John LinnellBy John LinnellLocated in New York, NYA fantastic and extremely rare pair of George III period gilt Carton-Pierre and giltwood oval mirrors in the manner of John Linnell.

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.
