Fret Carved Lime Wood Mirror with Mercury Plate

1900 - 1920
Description

Beautifully fret carved lime wood mirror with a fabulous mercury mirror plate and with just the right amount of foxing, circa 1900 and in great condition.

The lime wood gives very crisp and detailed carving and also polishes well too. The matt finish of the carved inner slip works so well and gives a lovely contrast to the rich tone of the outer frame.

The mirror is to be hung "landscape" as shown as there is a carved torch frame to the top and a fabulous carved serpent to the lower frame centre.

The mercury mirror plate has a lovely foxed finish to it, but none of it is dark or black foxing. You can see the foxing in the photographs and in my opinion, it looks great and enhances the mirror.

There is a secure hanging chain fitted, so it will just require a secure screw fitting on your wall, or you may prefer to hang it with a pair of mirror plates.

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.
