This pair of George III Hepplewhite period girandole wall mirrors originates from the 18th century. Constructed from giltwood and glass with brass hardware, the gold-coloured frames are decorated with intricate acanthus leaves, C-scrolls, floral swags, and a boldly carved anthemion cresting. Each mirror plate has mercury glass and is fitted with twin scrolling candle sconces and openwork floral detailing. Wear includes aged spotting across the glass plates and surface patination on the giltwood. Each mirror measures 91.5 cm high and 48.25 cm wide. Suitable for period and traditional interiors, these wall mirrors hang appropriately above a sideboard in a dining room, living room, or hallway. The wall-mounted placement provides ambient illumination when the candle sconces are lit, while reflecting natural and artificial light around the space.

FAQs

A girandole mirror is an ornamental wall mirror fitted with attached candle branches, designed during the 18th century to reflect light and increase ambient illumination in formal reception rooms.

Georgian girandoles were hand-carved from woods such as pine or lime, coated in gesso, and water-gilded with gold leaf, holding mercury-backed glass plates and metal candle sconces.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved timber joinery, natural gesso shrinkage lines beneath worn gilding, and original mercury glass plates exhibiting characteristic dark oxidisation spots.

Position a symmetrical pair on either side of a fireplace, flanking a sideboard, or along a hallway to create focal points and introduce historic gilding into modern decorative schemes.

Dust gently using a soft feather duster or dry artist paintbrush, avoiding all water, liquid sprays, and cleaning chemicals that can dissolve historic water gilding and gesso.
