Description

THIS BEAUTIFUL EARLY 19TH CENTURY MAHOGANY CHEVAL MIRROR IS IN ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL AND UNDAMAGED CONDITION. IT IS TOTALLY ORIGINAL INCLUDING ALL THE FITTINGS, GLASS AND FINISH. EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND SUCH A PIECE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED NO DAMAGE OR CHANGES DURING IT'S LONG LIFE.

IF YOUR TASTE IN ANTIQUE FURNITURE AND DECORATIVE ITEMS IS DEPENDENT ON FINDING THE VERY FINEST, IN PERFECT CONDITION, THEN THIS IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU.

THE DESIGN OF THIS MIRROR IS EXACTLY AS ONE WOULD EXPECT FOR THE REGENCY, A FINE BALANCE OF PROPORTION, COLOUR AND THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE PERIOD IN ITS TASTEFUL RESERVE REGARDING JUST THE RIGHT DEGREE OF DECORATION.

THE FRAME IS IN FINE MAHOGANY INLAID WITH EBONY STRINGING AND EDGES. THE FINIALS ARE EBONISED AND SOME EBONISING IS INCORPORATED ON THE BANDING AROUND THE UPRIGHTS AND CROSS RAILS. THIS COLOUR HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE TURNING AND IS ALL STILL EXTANT. THE BRASS FITTINGS AND CASTER FEET STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL LACQUER AND ALL FUNCTION PERFECTLY.

THE MIRROR GLASS, WHICH IS ALL IMPORTANT WHEN VALUE AND ORIGINALITY ARE PARAMOUNT, IS IN EXCELLENT PERIOD CONDITION, A LITTLE GREYING AND FOXING AS WOULD BE EXPECTED.(THIS IS THE FINISH AND APPEARANCE THAT ALWAYS LET'S DOWN RESTORED PIECES AND IS WHAT IS REQUIRED BY THOSE VETTING ITEMS FOR THE BEST SHOWS). THIS ANTIQUES GLASS GIVES A 'SOFT' AND VERY APPEALING IMAGE.

IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO DO JUSTICE WITH PICTURES FOR THIS SORT OF FURNITURE SO I HAVE TRIED TO PROVIDE AS MANY ASPECTS AS POSSIBLE BOTH INDOORS AND WITH NATURAL LIGHT BUT IF MORE IMAGES ARE REQUIRED PLEASE ASK.
