Pair of English Gilt Bronze and Ebonised Wood Mirrors
About the Item
Pair of English gilt bronze and ebonised wood mirrors
English, c. 1860
Height 74cm, width 59cm, depth 7cm
Magnificently crafted in around 1860 by English craftsmen, this pair of mirrors is decorated with several motifs, some inspired by French royalty.
Inspired by the Renaissance style, the mirrors are of a rectangular shape mostly adorned with ormolu decoration. A pair of putti and lions flank a central coat of arms, while below is a monogram ‘HHIV’, most likely signifying Henri IV who was the King of France from 1589 to 1610. The monogram is flanked by rich floral garlands. Numerous espagnolette mounts frame the later bevelled mirror plates. Ormolu niches with various male and female figures add another grand feature to this elegant pair of mirrors.
An ebonised wood backing creates a stunning background on which the exceptional ormolu features shine.
This pair of mirrors comes from Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire. Despite not being recorded in the 1864 inventory of the Manor, their design bears similarities to the decoration in the State Dining Room and corridors on the upper floor.
Of a sophisticated design, inspired by the rich history of art, this pair of mirrors is guaranteed to add a touch of elegance and regality to the appropriate interior space.

View AllPair of Meissen Style Porcelain and Ebonised Wood Mirrored Wall Brackets
By Dresden Porcelain
Located in London, GB
Pair of Meissen style porcelain and ebonised wood mirrored wall brackets
German, late 19th Century
Height 88cm, width 36/40cm, depth 19cm
This superb pair of wall brackets are a masterclass in the Meissen design style.
The mirror of each bracket is mounted on an ebonised wood backing, which is surrounded by a porcelain C-scroll surround encrusted with floral decoration. Featuring delicate scrolling motifs, the edge decoration includes both painted floral patterns and moulded floral assemblages, all in a vibrant colour scheme which stands out against the pure white porcelain base. Two expertly crafted birds perch at the corners of each bracket, carefully painted to mimic their real-life counterparts. The very top and very base of each bracket culminates in a playful putto, who represents one of the four seasons.
Below the mirrored section of each bracket is a semi-circular wooden top, which sits on top of a basket-shaped porcelain support. Surrounding this support is another porcelain edge, which is encrusted with a floral garland of bright green leaves and delicate blossoms.
