Description

A Regency period giltwood pier mirror of good proportions.

The mirror is of an unusual design with the breakfront cornice boasting a boldly carved central lion mask between a foliate swag, very much in the manner of Thomas Fentham (1774-1825). The original plate is flanked by two reeded trefoil columns beneath a gothic arch. The original plate has some very small areas of tarnish (please see photographs) but remains fully reflective.

Original gilding throughout. There is a very small knock to the top edge of the right cornice. Overall the mirror is in an excellent condition.

A striking mirror of fantastic design and proportions.

FAQs

The Regency style, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1820, draws heavily from neoclassical motifs, ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences, characterised by symmetry, architectural elements, and restrained ornamentation.

These frames are typically constructed from softwoods such as pine or gesso-coated carved wood, layered with thin sheets of gold leaf applied over a bolus ground, often featuring hand-carved decorative elements.

Authenticity is assessed through examining the composition of the gesso, the ageing and oxidisation patterns of the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and the hand-tooled construction marks on the reverse wood framing.

Placing a giltwood pier mirror above a low console table or a mantelpiece introduces verticality, reflects natural light, and creates a striking focal point that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern minimalist spaces.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted extremely gently using a dry, soft feather duster or microfiber cloth, avoiding all water, chemical cleaning agents, and direct sunlight to prevent cracking or flaking of the delicate gold leaf.
