Anglo-indian Mirror Circa 1890

19th century
For Sale by Beau Nash Bath
Description

Exceptional 19th Century Anglo-Indian Bone Inlay Wall Mirror circa 1890. This striking antique mirror showcases magnificent artistry, featuring a dense, meticulously hand-cut bone inlay pattern against a rich hardwood frame. The central decorative band displays an elegant, fluid trailing floral vine motif, a hallmark of premium colonial craftsmanship. This is beautifully framed by an outer and inner border of geometric micro-mosaic bone and ebonised wood stringing, giving the piece a sharp architectural definition.

The mirror retains an authentic, beautifully aged glass plate with a soft, misty foxing that beautifully tells the story of its long history. Anglo-Indian (likely originating from regions renowned for specialized inlay work, such as Hoshiarpur or Vizagapatam), crafted during the height of the British Colonial trade market where European forms beautifully fused with local exotic carving traditions. Features charming historic foxing and distressing to the silvered mirror plating, highly sought-after by interior designers for its authentic period character.

Anglo-Indian decorative arts refer to pieces manufactured in India during the 19th and early 20th centuries for British residents and export, blending European functional forms with traditional Indian craftsmanship and inlay techniques.

These items were typically constructed using dense native hardwoods such as teak, rosewood, or ebony, inlaid with natural materials including bone, ivory, or mother-of-pearl surrounding a silvered glass mirror plate.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut, slightly asymmetrical inlay tesserae, evidence of hand-sawn timber backing, traditional mortise and tenon joints, and natural oxidisation or foxing on the glass.

An inlaid mirror acts as a textural accent piece when positioned above a sideboard, fireplace mantel, or console table, contrasting clean contemporary lines with intricate historical pattern work.

Maintain the frame by dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth and avoiding water or chemical cleaners that can weaken hide glue and loosen individual inlay pieces.
