About the Item

A Very Attractive Early 19th Century Regency Period Giltwood And Gesso Rectangular Overmantle Mirror, Having Replacement Triple Sectioned Mirror Plates, Set Within Gilt Ball And Moulded Frame Borders, Surmounted by Elegant Foliate Carved Scrolling Decoration, Flanking Superbly Carved Ebonised Eagle Set On Rocks Holding Tasselled Chains. As suggested with the name overmantle mirrors were made to sit on, or just above the mantelpiece in large Georgian and Regency homes. They were nearly always low and wide so as to fill the space in an attractive fashion. They come in many different shapes, designs, sized and qualities and this is a quite exceptional example. The carved eagle and foliage surmount to this specific overmantle mirror is really quite a lovely addition and something which we have only come across very rarely before. It is superbly well executed and remains in good, solid condition. The gilding on this particular mirror appears to have never been redone, which means that it retains a lovely deep golden colour to it and is just incredibly tactile. The mirror plates are almost certainly replaced as they remain in pretty good condition overall with justa. few very small areas of silvering. There are of course quite a few old marks, scuffs, scrapes, scratches and repairs which are consumate with the age and design for a piece of this style. As with most of our stock this item has been cleaned and polished in the traditional fashion within our workshops by our skilled and experienced craftsman before being offered for sale, meaning it is ready to go straight into the home. Circa 1820. Height 35.5in. Width 45.5in. Depth 2.5in.
