Description

Georgian Chippendale Style Parcel-Gilt Mahogany Pier Mirror, Late Victorian, c.1900

A handsome late 19th to early 20th century wall mirror in the Georgian Chippendale style. The mahogany veneered fretwork frame is parcel-gilt, surrounding an oblong mirror plate with a gilt inner border. The crested top is centred by a Hoho bird cartouche, with a shaped apron below. Fitted with a chain for hanging, and retaining the original mirror plate with a light, attractive foxing.

An elegant decorative mirror, in good condition, well presented and ready for use.

Dimensions

Frame: approx. 99.5 cm (39.1") tall × 56.5 cm (22.25") wide × 4 cm (1.75") deep

Mirror plate: approx. 58 cm (22.75") × 38 cm (15.1")

Condition

Good condition overall, commensurate with age.

Structurally sound.

Minor marks and blemishes to the frame.

Fine scratch to the crest, small loss to a fret tip (bottom right), and some light overpainting to the gilt.

Original glass with a little foxing, adding character.

Cleaned, waxed, and ready for use.

As with all antique furniture, signs of age and use should be expected, but this remains a well-preserved and highly decorative mirror.

FAQs

The Chippendale style draws inspiration from the design books of Thomas Chippendale, characterised by intricate fretwork, asymmetrical scrolls, and often oriental motifs such as the hoho or phoenix bird.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods like mahogany, featuring hand-cut fretwork panels and selective application of gold leaf, known as parcel-gilt, highlighting carved details.

Authentication involves examining the timber grain, the ageing of the mirror plate, backboards, and hand-cut joinery to distinguish between 18th-century originals and late Victorian or Edwardian revival pieces.

A carved wood mirror serves as a strong focal point above a mantelpiece or console table, adding historical texture and warmth when paired with clean-lined modern furnishings.

Maintain the piece by keeping it out of direct sunlight, avoiding liquid polishes on the timber or gilt surfaces, and using a soft, dry cloth for dusting.
