A Pair of Small Late 19th Century Girandoles, in the Manner of Cottier & Co.

19th century
For Sale by Jeckyll & Co
Description

Designed and made in the late 19th century to support a candlestick, the mirror is used to reflect the light back into the room.

Although with some losses this pair of girandoles have been made by a good firm of cabinet makers. The simple design is well considered and the girondoles are made from mahogany rather than pine.

The famous firm of Cottier & Co. has to be in the frame as the maker. Founded by Daniel Cottier the firm had premises in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and New York.

The mirror on the left is had more wear to both the frame and plate. The right hand mirror retains the moulding below the crest which is currently detached, see images.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A girandole mirror is a decorative wall-mounted mirror, historically designed with candle branches or integrated shelves to reflect light into a room. Popular during the Victorian and Aesthetic Movement eras, these pieces often served as both functional light reflectors and ornamental wall features.

Late 19th-century girandoles were typically constructed from joiner-made hardwoods finished with black ebonisation or dark lacquers. They frequently feature incised scrollwork patterns, arched glass apertures, and carved supportive brackets beneath integrated display shelves.

Authentic pieces from this period exhibit hand-cut jointing, period-correct plate glass showing subtle silver oxidation or foxing, and genuine surface wear along exposed edges. Look for original metal mounting loops, hand-incised detailing, and age-related patination on the reverse timber panel.

Position the pair symmetrically on a narrow accent wall, flanking a larger artwork, or above a hallway console table to add architectural interest. Display small sculptural objects on the brackets to capitalise on their reflective properties within a modern scheme.

Dust the wooden frames regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh water or chemical detergents that could strip the delicate ebonised finish. Clean the mirrored glass sparingly with a damp cloth, taking care not to let liquid seep into the wooden surrounds or deteriorate the silver backing.
