Early 18th Century Georgian Walnut & Gilt Wall Mirror

18th century
Description

An Attractive Early 18th Century George I Period Rectangular Kit Kat Design Wall Mirror, The Old Replacement Mirror Plate Set Within Elegant Walnut And Parcel Gilded Frame With Foliate Moulding And Re-Entrant Corners. 

This relatively simple mirror is great for a whole host of spaces around the home due to its sensible size. And also considering that it is over 300 years old the condition remains pretty good overall. 

The re-entrant corners, sometimes referred to as creating a kit kat shaped frame design add a little to the overall elegance of the piece, as does the moulded decoration to the gilded slip. 

The mirror plate itself is old, in fact it has significant age, which can be seen in the small areas of silvering, although that silvering is very small and inconsequential and it certainly doesn;t affect the function of the mirror. Despite having some good age to it the mirror plate is almost certainly not original however. 

As with all items which we offer for sale the mirror has received a natural wax polish following inspection in our workshops by our traditional antique furniture restorers.

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.

Early Georgian mirrors produced during the Queen Anne and George I periods typically feature simple rectangular shapes, earred or stepped corners, cross-banded walnut veneers, and water-gilded interior mouldings.

Frames from this period were commonly built using pine or oak backings faced with figured walnut veneers, complemented by carved pine or gesso mouldings coated in gold leaf.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, pine backboards with original forged tacks, hand-drawn mercury glass plates with subtle distortion, and natural age oxidation on the gilded surfaces.

A Georgian walnut mirror provides visual balance when hung above a modern console table, over a fireplace mantel, or within an entryway to reflect natural light against neutral wall finishes.

Dust the frame gently with a soft dry feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, avoid liquid cleaners or moisture on water-gilded areas, and clean the glass plate with a lightly dampened cloth without touching the frame.
