A magnificent and important 18th Century George II Parcel Gilt Mirror in the manner of William Kent. In excellent condition retaining the original mirror plate. The fine detail of the carving is intact and has not been lashed over and refinished as many of this period have. The original gilding is in wonderful condition and shines brightly as it should. The Mirror is particularly well shaped and carved having a wonderfully executed Ho Ho bird to the centre of the crest. The tip of one of the birds wings has been repaired at some stage and the bird refixed. Circa 1740
On the back of the Mirror the name Penrose is written, we found from research that Alexandrina Peckover left some of her possessions to her Nephew Sir Ronald Penrose the Surrealist painter and art collector.
Provenance: Peckover House.
This 3-storey, 5-bay block town house was built in 1722 and the Quaker banker Jonathan Peckover moved into the house in 1794. Bank House, as it was known, remained in the Peckover f...amily for the next 150 years. Built from yellow brick with red-brick dressings, Peckover House has a rusticated front doorway framed by Tuscan columns beneath a curved pediment. Panelled interiors, with elaborate Rococo and Neo-classical plasterwork and carving, were added some time in the mid-18th century. Alexander Peckover was a noted collector and bibliophile. His daughter Alexandrina, the last of the Peckover line to live there, gave the house to the National Trust in 1943.
