Queen Anne Walnut Pier Mirror C.1710

18th century
Description

A fine and rare Queen Anne period walnut and gesso framed pier mirror in delightfully original condition including the murcurial glass and back boards.

This fine mirror is made of two pieces of glass , as is typical, the top one being shaped according to the frame. The frame has a gilded sight edge enclosed in a convex moulding, cross-grain-veneed in beautifully patinated walnut.

Mirrors of this period with glass plates over a certain size were always made in two parts, as early glass-making techniques which involved floating moulten glass on a flat bed, would only allow for smaller sheets.

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.

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

Queen Anne mirrors, produced predominantly between 1702 and 1714, are characterised by slender proportions, arched top frames, and figure-grained walnut veneers. They frequently feature shaped crested tops decorated with carved motifs such as gilt scallop shells.

These mirrors were constructed using pine or oak cores faced with walnut veneers, often incorporating double glass plates due to historical manufacturing limits on glass size. The upper cresting was commonly embellished with carved timber and gilded highlights.

Authentic pieces display distinct structural signs including hand-cut joinery, mercury glass showing natural oxidisation, and a two-part glass construction where the plates meet. The walnut surface exhibits a mature patina, while original gilding demonstrates subtle age-related wear.

A tall pier mirror functions well positioned between two windows, above a hallway console table, or within a narrow space to bounce light across the room. Its warm timber tones and classical silhouette create visual contrast against contemporary painted walls.

Clean the timber frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain to preserve the patination. Avoid spraying glass cleaner directly onto the mirror plate, as liquid can seep behind the moulding and damage the backing.
