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.

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.

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.
