18th Century Chippendale Rococo Giltwood Wall Mirror

18th century
Description

A Charming And Good Quality 18th Century English Chippendale Period, George III Period, Rectangular Giltwood Wall Mirror, Having Superbly Carved Rococo Design Frame, Featuring Elegant Scrolls, Decorated Floral Motifs And Mainly Original Rich Gilded Decoration, Enclosing Attractive Replacement Old Mirror Plate. 

A lovely 18th century mirror which features many of the well known and highly regarded designs from the chippendale rococo period. In terms of overall condition the gilt retains a lovely vivid colour to it, whilst not being overpoweringly shiny and bright like any that have been totally regilded. In fact this lovely mirror almost certainly retains its original gilding with various touched up sections throughout the years.

It should also be noted that as expected for something of this age and it’s relatively delicate nature there is some historic breaks and repairs to the frame, all of which have been sympathetically repaired and restored to blend in beautifully over the course of its history. The mirror plate itself is also replaced, but is actually old and in very good condition.

The mirror is a good size in terms of its functionality, big enough to have presence in a room, but at the same time small enough to retain elegance and not be overpowering.

In fact we believe that of its type this is one of the nicest we have had through our stock in quite some time.

As with all the items which we offer for sale, this chippendale gilt mirror has been attended to in the traditional manner at our workshops before being offered for sale, by our highly trained and skilled antique furniture restorers to ensure that it is in good retail condition and ready to be placed immediately into the home or workplace.

Circa 1760.

Height 36in.

Width 24in.

Depth 2.5in.

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.

Originating in mid-18th century Britain, Chippendale Rococo mirrors feature intricate carving inspired by French Rococo design, defined by asymmetrical C-scrolls, acanthus leaf motifs, and architectural cresting.

Crafted primarily from hand-carved pine or lime wood, these frames were coated with gesso before gold leaf was applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces display hand-carved joinery, irregularities in gilded patination, pine backboards fastened with handmade square nails, and natural mercury glass showing subtle oxidisation.

A gilded Rococo mirror creates a focal point when positioned above a minimalist console table, paired with contemporary wall panelling, or placed above a marble fireplace.

Dust the carved frame gently with a dry, soft brush, avoiding water, commercial polishes, or liquid cleaners that can dissolve water-gesso and strip original gilding.
