Antique Pair of Regency Style Giltwood Convex Girandole Wall Mirrors

A decorative pair of antique giltwood convex wall mirrors made in the Regency style. Each mirror features an elegant pierced scrolled crest above a circular convex mirror plate set within a reeded frame, with a carved foliate apron below.

The frames are finely carved with scrolling acanthus ornament and retain a warm gilt finish which gives the mirrors a striking decorative presence. The convex plates are surrounded by radiating carved decoration, a design inspired by the fashionable girandole mirrors of the early nineteenth century.

Convex mirrors of this type were designed to reflect light and movement around a room and were traditionally placed in hallways, staircases or above console tables where their curved plates would brighten interior spaces.

An attractive decorative pair which work particularly well flanking a doorway, fireplace or on either side of a wall feature.

Condition Report

Good condition with light age related wear to the gilt finish consistent with age and use. The convex mirror plates remain clear with minor age related marks.
