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 pier mirror displays a warm cream and gold palette, combining painted wood and gesso with gilded accents and an aged glass plate. Architectural elements include fluted columns with splaying leaves, a ball cornice, a lattice band with floral rosettes, and a carved central panel featuring a ribbon-bound garland. Finely carved lion masks decorate both the upper and lower corners, contrasted against soft gilding along the mouldings. The original mirror plate shows extensive foxing, adding distinct character and signs of age to the piece. Measuring 118 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 18.5 cm deep, the mirror functions well in a home as a grand wall-mounted fixture. It sits comfortably placed above a sideboard in a dining room, hallway, or drawing room, reflecting light while introducing classical Regency design to an interior.

FAQs

A pier mirror is a tall, narrow wall mirror originally designed during the early 19th-century Regency period to fit on the wall space, or pier, between two windows.

These mirrors were constructed using timber frames layered with sculpted gesso, finished with oil or water gilding and paint, and fitted with mercury glass plates.

Authentic Regency pier mirrors showcase classical architectural motifs, including fluted pilasters, ball-draped cornices, lion masks, and carved swags, paired with aged foxed glass.

Position the mirror above a console table, between tall windows, or above a fireplace mantle to introduce architectural height and enhance natural light.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding water, solvents, or commercial polishes that can lift fragile gilding and historic paint finishes.
