THOMAS CHIPPENDALE

Chippendale's reputation as the most eminent of all cabinet makers is internationally known. Born in Yorkshire in 1718, he began his career in Otley before moving to London. In 1754 he published The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's Director' which led to commissions from HRH Prince William, 1st Duke of Gloucester (to whom the 3rd edition of the Director was dedicated), the Earls of Pembroke, Dumfries and Coventry, and Sir Rowland Winn.

A George III Chippendale Period Carved Giltwood Mirror

Height: 55" 140cm
Width: 27" 69cm

The rectangular plate framed by columns, 'C' scrolls and scrolling foliage on the sides and superbly executed entwined 'C' scrolls to the bottom. The mirror surmounted by further 'C' scrolls, a waterfall and pagoda to the top.

The condition and quality of this mirror are excellent. The carving is particularly crisp and has great depth which gives the frame a three dimensional quality lacking in mirrors with shallower carving.
