George II Walnut & Gilt Wall Mirror

18th century
Description

An Attractive George II Period Walnut Wall Mirror Having Elegant Fret Carved Frame, With Central Set Gilt Cartouche Surmounted To Top, Enclosing Replacement Old Rectangular Mirror Plate Set Within Attractive Gilded Border.

A very attractive 18th century mirror of typical but attractive form which is a very useful small size. In fact it is almost the perfect size to complement a much larger, but similar, example on a big piece of wall space, or in the same room to continue a style, but also it is a great size to make a feature of by itself in a smaller room or wall space.

The surface and patina is good and it is a really attractive piece indeed. 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 36in.

Width 20in.

Depth 1.5in.

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.

George II wall mirrors from the mid-18th century typically feature walnut veneers, carved fretwork, architectural scrolled pediments, and gilded accents such as central shells or floral motifs.

These mirrors were constructed using a softwood backboard or frame veneered in figured walnut, with hand-carved pine or lime wood decorative elements finished in gold leaf over gesso.

Authentic period pieces show signs of hand-sawing on backboards, natural timber shrinkage around veneer joints, original mercurial glass foxing, and aged gilding with red bole showing through high points.

Positioning the mirror above a modern hallway console table or a dining room sideboard creates an effective contrast between classic woodwork and clean modern lines.

Dust the wood frame lightly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying liquids or chemical cleaners directly to the gilding, and use a barely damp cloth for the glass pane.
