A Very Rare Pair of Queen Anne Giltwood Border Glass Mirrors

Height: 45" 114cm
Width: 22" 56cm

Each mirror having an arched beveled plate within conforming beveled border glasses surmounted by a superbly carved crest. The crests composed of a central shell flanked by incised scrolling strap work adorned with flowing foliage. To the bottom of the mirrors are a pair of candle arms (later). Border glass mirrors are extremely hard to find thus to find a pair of such outstanding quality is exceptional.

English Circa 1715

This pair of border glass mirrors, surmounted by acanthus wrapped scrolls and centred by a shell clasp, recall the work of Thomas Pelletier (d.1723) who, as Royal cabinet-maker was partly responsible for dictating the popular style of the time. As part of a family of carvers and gilders, he supplied pier tables, mirrors, candle-stands and frames to King William III and Queen Anne.

The carved detail of the cresting may be compared to documented pieces by the Pelletier family including the apron on a table made for Queen Anne in 1705 and the carving on a mirror frame supplied to Montagu House, London

Originally, this pair of mirrors would likely have been supplied en suite with a pair of tables and candlestands. For example Pelletier's invoice of 1699 lists 'two tables two pairs of stands and two looking glasses' supplied to the 'late Queen's Bedchambers at Kensington'.
