Memorable Pieces | |
The following images, taken from our archives, illustrate a small selection of pieces we have handled over the past 60 years and which have given us special pleasure and enjoyment. Either for the pieces themselves, their origins or the collections in which they have been placed. A George III Regency Period Convex Mirror by Thomas Fentham
Height: 70" 1m78 The mirror frame is finely carved with symbols of the hunt, a horn, a longbow and a quiver full of arrows. It is surmounted by an eagle holding in his beak a gilded arrow and two chains set with golden orbs representing musket balls. The convex mirror plate is embellished with ebonized stars and further musket ball motifs typical of this period. Two pairs of ormolu candle arms (drip pans and drops replaced) with pendant chains and balls adorn the lower part of the frame. A trade label for Thomas Fentham is pasted on the reverse. English, Circa 1810 |
