Description

Carved giltwood George III mirror in the manner of John Linnell.

The 18th century mirror is crisply carved throughout and is almost certainly from a London workshop.

The carved leaf to the top is surmounted on a cluster of stiff leaf decoration above 'C' scrolls and other supports. The mirror plate is 18th century and probably the original. The outer foliage is finely drawn and carved and borders the carved and moulded frame. The apron is centralised with a rosette and inverted 'C' scrolls and flanked on the shoulders with more supporting scrolls.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Rococo giltwood mirrors from the 18th century are characterised by asymmetrical scrollwork, naturalistic motifs such as acanthus leaves and flowers, and frames carved from wood before being gilded with gold leaf.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved timber, often pine or lime wood, coated with layers of gesso paste, covered in gold leaf, and fitted with hand-blown silvered glass plate.

Authentic period examples often display hand-carved joinery marks on the reverse timber backing, subtle oxidation or distressing on the mirror glass, and natural wear or red bole undercoating showing through the gold gilding.

An ornate gilt mirror creates a dramatic statement when placed above a minimalist fireplace mantelpiece or console table, offering a high-contrast focal point that balances contemporary and historic elements.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that can dissolve water gilding or lift underlying gesso layers.
