This exceptionally well carved mirror is a classic example of the crossed bough style of mirror. These mirrors were in vogue from the early 1760's through to the 1770's with a number of notable makers producing designs, including Linnell Ince and Mayhew and Thomas Johnson. This particular mirror is notable for the quality and crispness of the carving.
