18th Century George III Carved Mirror in the Manner of Thomas Johnson
By Thomas Johnson II
Located in London, GB
A George III Giltwood Pier Mirror
In the Manner of Thomas Johnson
An exceptionally detailed design; the superb carved decoration housing a shaped rectangular plate and undulating mirrored borders; the inner frame closely tied to the outer frame and leading the eye around the mirror. The grandiose masterful carving incorporating C-scrolls, flowering branchwork, stylized icicles, acanthus leaves, and distinctive architectural follies and figures which firmly place this mirror within the canon of Johnson's greatest designs. The confident execution is a great testament to the technical prowess and artistic creativity of one of the greatest carvers and designers of the eighteenth century,
circa 1760.
Provenance
Edward Cecil Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, Farmleigh, Co. Dublin, (1880?-1927);
The Earls of Iveagh, Farmleigh, Co. Dublin & Elveden Hall, Suffolk (1927-2018).
Thomas Johnson (1723-1799)
Thomas Johnson was one of the most skilled carvers and furniture designers in Georgian England. Drawing inspiration from the Fables of Aesop, the rococo, China, and the idealised rustic life, his work is whimsical, exuberant and witty. Chippendale borrowed freely from his work. Johnson was a founder member of the 'Antigallican Society', a group who excoriated the French taste.
In addition to its relation to Johnson's designs, this mirror also reflects the influence of Lock, the great master with whom he worked for a period. Lock published many sketches and pattern books, including A New Book of Ornaments for Looking Glasses in 1752, introducing several idiosyncratic features which Johnson would adopt such as the small decorative urns...

These 19th-century Regency giltwood pier mirrors are impressive pieces of antique furniture that would add elevation and refinement to any room. The dimensions of the mirrors are 203 cm (80 inches) in height and 76 cm (30 inches) in width.
The frames are reeded, which means they have a series of parallel lines running vertically or horizontally on their surface, adding a textured effect to the frame. Additionally, the corners of the frames have ebonised floral details, which contrast beautifully with the giltwood and provide a pop of darker colour on the gold leaf.
The mirrors retain their original antique...

Large Pair of Swedish Gilt Metal and Engraved Glass Mirrors after Precht
By Burchard Precht
Located in London, GB
Large pair of Swedish gilt metal and engraved glass mirrors after Precht
Swedish, 19th Century
Height 132cm, width 75cm, depth 5cm
Crafted in 19th century Sweden, the design of this elegant pair of mirrors is after the work of the Precht family. Burchard (d.1738), Gustav (d. 1763) and Christian (d. 1779) Precht were synonymous with 18th century mirror production in Sweden and crafted exceptional pieces for the Swedish court.
Mounted on an ebonised wood backing, the front of the mirrors is adorned with gilt metal frames and engraved glass detailing. The egg and dart motif is used for the gilt metal frames. The glass is engraved with floral and scrolling patterns, in between which are gilt metal mounts of a similar design. Centering each mirror is a large glass plane. Surmounting the mirror is a shaped, gilt metal, and engraved glass panel with adornments like the ones below. Topping these are gilt metal vases filled with rich bouquets.
