Large Biedermeier Antique Mahogany Pier Mirror and Console Table ca. 1820-40

About the Item

BIEDERMEIER FLAMED-MAHOGANY AND PARCEL-GILT PIER MIRROR AND CONSOLE Northern Europe, circa 1820-40 Item # 407OYP16P A stunning presentation, this fine Biedermeier mirror and pier table stand together at just over 100" even before spacing the mirror over the console. They are intended to be a powerful statement piece, a pair that compliment and supplement the architecture of a room. Despite the height, the console and mirror feel light and airy together due to the careful design and fine lines. The mirror retains an early and probably original label fragment on the reverse, this showcasing in the console and mirror a tidy and symmetrical construction in the pine secondary woods. The pointed and stepped pediment is flanked on either end by ears in the corners over bold cove-moldings that conform to the squared columns framing the powerful book-matched flamed-mahogany veneers. Note the application of veneers cut from the same plank applied to the typanum, cove molding and pediment in perfect harmony while the squared columns on either side are dressed with veneers that perfectly mirror. A close examination of the veneers in every element will reveal artistry and extraordinary care - great pride is shown in even the smallest corners and turns, the planks selected with great discernment. The powerful half-columns flanking the mirror have only a subtle taper, the capital and plinth ring-turned and gilded. The design of the console is clever with a top that steps out before stepping in over a base that echoes the sentiment of the pediment without merely replicating it. Legs on either side curve inward to culminate in well-detailed gilded animal paws over the half-moon base. A very fine acquisition. Measurements: Mirror: 67 1/3" H x 6" D x 34 1/4" W Console: 33" H x 16 1/2" D x 33 5/8" W Condition Report: Both plates of glass are likely replaced: early plate glass in the upper, lower glass more recent, neither have been examined with the backboards removed; modern nails on the backboards suggest the backboards were removed in the late 20th century and then reinstalled; very small replaced piece of squared molding (just below cove molding of right upper column); filled shrinkage cracks in the sides and base of the console; a single screw added to the back of one support in the base; giltwood losses to the feet; minor surface blemishes; overall an incredibly vibrant and powerful presentation.
