A decorative late Victorian mahogany wall mirror in the Chippendale style, dating to circa 1880.
The rectangular mirror plate is enclosed within a moulded mahogany frame with a narrow gilt slip, surrounded by an attractive pierced and shaped fretwork frame. The elaborate cresting incorporates scrolling and foliate motifs, with corresponding shaped decoration to the sides and lower apron, all inspired by 18th-century Chippendale designs.
The mahogany has developed a warm, rich colour and the mirror plate displays attractive age-related foxing and spotting, adding considerably to its character.
A particularly decorative antique mirror of elegant proportions, ideal for a hallway, bedroom, drawing room or positioned above a chest or console table.
English, circa 1880.
