Large George II Walnut & Gilt Wall Mirror

18th century
Description

An Extremely Attractive Large Early 18th Century, George II Period, Walnut Mirror, Having Extremely Well Figured Shaped Fretwork Frame, With Central Set Giltwood Carved Cartouche To Top, Over Replacement Rectangular Bevelled Mirror Plate, Flanked By Gilded Carved Trailing Husks To Each Side.

This early 18th century mirror is of good size, a reasonable amount larger than most of this design which are found from this period. Indeed with its additional size to the norm and its boldly figured veneers it was certainly designed to make somewhat of a statement in its original hanging place.

Now of course it has mellowed wonderfully and boasts a lovely warm patina and surface. The gilding also remains in relatively good condition and has a lovely old lustre to it.

The actual mirror plate itself has been replaced at some point in the not to distant past, which of course makes it functional and its nice that when replaced previously the owner went to the trouble of putting a nicely bevelled piece of glass in place.

There are a few minor old breaks and repairs to the frame, but certainly nothing of consequence or concern and these are all historic, having been well repaired.

As with all our objects this Georgian Walnut Mirror has been inspected by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish before being offered for sale. That means it is in good condition and ready for immediate placement within the home following purchase.

Circa 1730.

Height 45.5in.

Width 26.5in.

Depth 1.5in.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

George II wall mirrors from the mid-18th century typically feature figured walnut or mahogany veneers, fretwork scroll profiles, and gilded accents. Crestings often include carved motifs such as shell designs, plumes, or architectural pediments.

Mirrors from this era were constructed using pine or oak cores covered in high-grade timber veneers, such as burr or figured walnut. Decorative elements were carved from pine or lime wood and finished with traditional water gilding over dark red or yellow bole.

Authentic pieces usually display hand-sawn backboards with oxidation, hand-cut joinery, and natural age-related wear to the gilding. Original mirror glass often exhibits slight distortion, silvering degradation, or grey spots known as foxing.

Hang the mirror above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantel to create a clear focal point. The rich wood tones and historic gilded detailing provide a balanced contrast within minimalist or transitional rooms.

Dust the wood frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft-bristled brush around carved details. Avoid water, polish, or chemical sprays on the giltwood elements, as moisture can dissolve the water-gilded gesso base.
