A Regency Period Carved Giltwood Convex Mirror
A Regency Period Carved Giltwood Convex Mirror
The original convex mirror-plate bordered by a series of decorative motifs including an ebonised reeded slip, saw-tooth motif and the more typical gold balls. To each side of the frame are carved acanthus leaves from which spirally twisted candle-arms extend with brass bobeche and drip pan with cut glass drops.
To the bottom of the frame is further acanthus leaf decoration and to the top is a carved and ebonised eagle perched upon rocks with a most abundant cornucopia to each side.

The mirror exceptional for the range of motifs employed, the crispness of the carving and the overall quality.
