Description:
This is a fine quality antique English transitional Regency / William IV gilt mirror, with large proportions (5ft High x 4ft 6” wide), decorated with a rope-twist border and moulded acanthus mount gilt frame, designed to sit above a fire place / mantlepiece, circa 1835, in excellent original condition. This large period gilt frame mirror incorporates transitional monarchist designs, with a Regency rope-twist border and William IV acanthus leaf and floral block moulded frame. Therefore, the style of this mirror spans two monarchist periods. The William IV gilt mirror retains its original glass within the large pale-gold wooden gilt frame, designed with an arched top, decorated with a floral pierced pediment. The mirror frame is constructed with floral block mouldings, interspersed by a rope-twist border on a carved acanthus leaf mounted over-hung lintel feet, which terminate on small bun feet.

The William IV gilt mirror retains its original mirror and pine backboards, with four metal side-fixing wall plates, to secure the mirror against the wall. The glass mirror itself measures 4ft 4” high by 3ft 6⅛” wide.

This antique carved wall mirror would look superb in the living room above a fireplace / mantlepiece, as it is well proportioned and of excellent quality. This period mantel mirror would certainly grace either a contemporary or traditional home, and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely decorative item.

Condition Report:
This is a fine quality antique English transitional Regency / William IV gilt mirror, with large proportions (5ft High x 4ft 6” wide), decorated with a rope-twist border and moulded acanthus mount gilt frame, designed to sit above a fire place / mantlepiece, circa 1835, in excellent condition. The wooden gilt frame is in good condition having been cleaned and the pale-gold finish revived. Nominal old use marks, to the leading edges of the gilt frame, but nothing significant, given the age of the item. The large Victorian gilt mirror retains its original glass, with small signs of “foxing” pinpricks and some old use marks which we think it is perfectly acceptable given its age, and that fact that it is the original glass. “Foxing” is a term used to describe silvering in antique mirrors that has deteriorated and turned misty, or appears to have tarnished in areas. Light “foxing” serves to demonstrate the pleasing character and patina demonstrating its age. This large antique wall mirror is ready to be used.

Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you.

We will also provide you with our shippers' contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It's helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
