Large Regency Painted Pier Mirror with Lion Masks

19th century
Description

A fine Regency period pier mirror, c.1820.

The mirror boasts a central panel with a garland bound with a central ribbon sitting below a lattice band set with floral rosettes. Both panel and band retain their original warm cream paint which contrasts with the soft gilded accents along the molding and carved details. Finely carved lion masks of unusual form to both the top and the bottom corners. The upper cornice is lined with rounded spheres. The original mirror plate has foxed beautifully, and is flanked by two fluted trefoil columns surmounted with splaying leaves.

A lovely example.

This large Regency period pier mirror originates from around 1820 and combines carved wood, gesso, mirror glass, and paint in aged gold and warm cream tones. The structure features a ball-ornament cornice above a lattice band with floral rosettes, a central panel with a ribbon-bound garland, and finely carved lion masks at the top and bottom corners. Fluted trefoil columns with splaying leaves flank the original mirror plate, which displays significant foxing and distressing. The piece measures 118 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 18.5 cm deep. In a modern interior, this large mirror suits placement above a sideboard in a dining room, hallway, or living space to reflect light and add architectural presence. The aged surfaces and classical motifs coordinate with traditional or eclectic room schemes.

FAQs

A Regency pier mirror traditionally features architectural neoclassical proportions, such as fluted columns, decorative friezes, and ball-adorned cornices, originally intended to hang on the pier wall between two windows.

Regency mirror frames were typically constructed from carved wood coated in gesso and finished with oil gilding or water gilding and paint, surrounding a silvered or mercury glass mirror plate.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved wooden joinery, distressed timber backboards, hand-wrought fixing nails, and visible oxidisation or foxing beneath the glass surface.

Position the mirror above a console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece to create a focal point, allowing its classical structure to contrast with contemporary furniture.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry feather duster or soft brush, avoiding any liquids, polish, or commercial cleaners that can dissolve delicate gesso and gilding.
