An extraordinary mid 18th century three branch girondole mirror with original gilding in the manner of Thomas Chippendale and combining both Gothic and Chinoiserie elements to create a ‘fantasy’ landscape.

The frame superbly carved and a beautifully balanced asymmetrical composition of foliate C and S scrolls, interspersed with berries and flowers and bordered by palm fronds and the principal elements underscored with carved icicles. The upper right cresting with ho-ho bird seated on a rocky outcrop, its wings raised in readiness of flight, the bird’s neck stretched towards the over sailing central rocaile scroll. In the lower left quadrant a crested dove peers at its own reflection.

The three candle sconces decorated with individually carved oak leaves.

The thick glass plate is hand made, early and may be original having some small areas of natural degredation and light foxing, and the glass with a good soft grey hue colour and lovely deep reflection.

With oak boards to back, in superb original condition with a few early and very small repairs (the crest with later metal supports added verso) minor losses and some light rubbing to reveal the red clay bole beneath.

An important George II period example, exceptionally rare and stunningly beautiful.

Dimensions are:

28 inches wide, 7 inches deep and 37 inches high.

For metric please multiply by 2.5 I describe and photograph my pieces accurately and with the aim that on arrival each will exceed expectations.

I operate a full refund guarantee and am always happy to give free, honest and friendly advice.
