About the Item

Neoclassical Swan Motif Mirror in Carved Giltwood and Faux Lapis, Attributed to The Carvers’ Guild American, Later 20th Century 52" H x 31" W; mirror plate 36" H x 24" W A striking neoclassical revival mirror in carved giltwood and composition, this piece draws inspiration from early 19th-century Russian and Baltic Empire styles. The rectilinear form is flanked by fluted pilasters with acanthus capitals and classical rosette reliefs, framing an inset mirror bordered in a vivid faux lapis lazuli finish—an homage to the prized stone favored in imperial decoration. The elaborate crest features a pair of confronting swans—traditional emblems of grace, fidelity, and transformation—arching toward a central urn issuing anthemion plumes, a classical motif associated with immortality and enlightenment. The use of swans and fountains here speaks to the influence of Saint Petersburg design and the symbolic language of Empire ornamentation, blending theatricality with academic classicism. Attributed to The Carvers’ Guild, a respected American maker known for their sculptural mirrors rooted in historic design vocabularies, this piece exemplifies fine craftsmanship and decorative presence. The layered gilt surface shows intentional aging and minor surface irregularities consistent with the maker’s hand-finished aesthetic. A quietly dramatic focal point for entryways, dressing rooms, or formal interiors.
