Lot 539 , A Regency giltwood and gesso convex wall mirror, H.3ft W.1ft 10in.
A Regency giltwood and gesso convex wall mirror, with eagle crest, H.3ft W.1ft 10in.
Estimate £800-1,200
This mirror looks to be in overall good condition, eagle crest has had the eagle broken away below its talons at one point and now re-attached to good effect, there are two fairly modern brass tabs for wall mounting attached at 10 and 2 o'clock, the one at 2 o'clock shows breakages in the back of the frame, the one at 10 o'clock shows chipping to the gilt gesso, but overall this mirror looks to be in good order, gilt finish is old and a little dirty with some fine cracks and small losses throughout, plate showing a little oxidisation.
