SOLD A Good, and Rare, Regency Giltwood & Gilt Gesso Overmantel Mirror with the original triple plate, and unusual decoration of the Caduceus centring on a Scallop Shell, circa 1815. HISTORICAL NOTE Hermes, messenger of the gods in Greek Mythology (or Mercury as the Romans called him), carried messages to & from the earth, his symbol of office being the Caduceus, a wand with wings symbolising his speed, & thought to bestow prosperity & wealth, around which were entwined two snakes, understood to impart wisdom. The Scallop Shell symbolises fertility, so it would seem likely that this mirror was a wedding gift to give hope of prosperity, wealth, wisdom & fertility.
Jonathan's 46 years' experience as owner of 'Cull Antiques' gives you the reassurance that you can buy from us with confidence. All our stock is in beautiful condition unless otherwise stated, and ready to be enjoyed in the home.
