Regency (Geo Iv) Gilt Wood Firepace / Landcape Mirror Circa 1825

19th century
Description

• Very imposing tryptic designed Regency Landscape Mirror in really excellent condition with a lovely balance between the original guilt and refreshed 24 carat guiding of the leaf mouldings, etc which really give it a wow factor

• The quality of the mouldings is exceptional – this was created by a fine maker

• The middle and ‘rhs’ glass panels appear to be original with foxing as shown – these could be replaced if desired but as a ‘collector’ I have not done this particularly as the central mirror has a moulded bevelled edged glass which I have never seen on a mirror of this age (only started to see cut bevelled mirrors from the late 19thC)

• Could work beautifully in a modern interior.

• A gem

• Delivery £90 uk ex. Scotland

Dealers Notes

**************************************

Shipping

Other than a few smaller items that can be safely posted, nearly all items are hand delivered (and set up in the case of clocks) by Martin Bros who are one of Britain’s most prestigious carriers of antiques and fine art. I wish us avoid the hassle of cheap men and their vans! The standard (subsidised) delivery price shown is for mainland UK excluding Scotland. Please ask for a Quotation where the standard price is not applicable.

**************************************

Restoration and Presented Condition

I do not subscribe to the shabby chic or make it like new approach using modern materials which can make future restoration extremely difficult and impede long-term investment value.

Any restoration work is done to the highest (museum) standards using traditional materials so as to not compromise the patina of age.

Accordingly, please note some antique items for sale will have wear and marks associated with use over many generations that adds to the aesthetic beauty of the piece from the collector’s perspective.

**************************************

Fine Art - Condition

All Paintings offered have been chosen for their excellent original condition, with where necessary museum standard cleaning, restoration and revarnishing. Presented in Gallery condition they are ready to hang for many generations, before cleaning / revarnishing may be necessary.

**************************************

Any Questions?

I just love acquiring and talking about antiques and fine art so will be pleased to discuss any of the items I have for sale on UK 07515 741344 or Richard.lench1956@gmail.com.

Best wishes Richard

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Regency overmantel mirror features a low, horizontal landscape orientation specifically engineered to sit above a chimney breast, often decorated with neoclassical columns and acanthus leaf carving popular during the early nineteenth century.

These frames were constructed using pine or oak substrates carved with decorative motifs, coated in layers of gesso, and finished using water-gilding techniques with thin gold leaf.

Authentic pieces feature tripartite glass panels due to historical manufacturing limits on plate glass sizes, hand-carved wooden frames, original pine backing boards, and light oxidisation on the silvering.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or mount it over a hallway console table to capture light and introduce warmth into contemporary spaces.

Dust the frame regularly using a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp microfibre cloths that can dissolve the water-soluble gesso layer beneath the gold leaf.
