Lot 476 , A pair of Regency Irish ebonised and silvered wall mirrors, H.1ft7in. W.1ft3in.
A pair of Regency Irish ebonised and silvered wall mirrors, decorated with facetted pastes, H.1ft7in. W.1ft3in.
Estimate £400-600
These mirrors have seen extensive restoration with the ebonising being repainted and the glass drops being reapplied, many of which look like they are later replacements, inner silvered cross hatching with some scratching and spotting, plates also look like later replacements, signs of the glass appliques having been placed in a different arrangement still showing within the outer ebonised band, overall a decorative pair of mirrors but not for the purest.
