A fine example of a Georgian giltwood mirror of small size and in the Neoclassical Adam manner.

The mirror is in excellent condition, it was purchased from Charles Lumb & Sons Ltd, Harrogate in the 1960’s and it is likely it had had minor restoration then and was regilded all to the highest level. The mirror retains two makers labels on the reverse, the oldest is for Thomas Carver & Gilder the Corner of Mincing Lane in Fenchurch St London who worked at the end of the eighteenth century and would have originally made the piece.
