A CARVED GILTWOOD MIRROR 18TH CENTURY AND LATER The architectural pediment and frame carved with a pierced shell, foliate scrolls and a trellis ground, the bevelled plate re-silvered and possibly original, the gilding revealing a yellow and red bole ground 274cm high, 142cm wide, 20cm deepProvenance:Gerald Tyrwhitt-Wilson, 14th Baron Berners (1883-1950), Faringdon House, Oxfordshire; and by descent from Lord Berners's companion Robert Heber-Percy toSofka Zinovieff (b. 1961), by whom sold; Christie's, London, 12 April 2018, lot 50, where described as George IV, with a subsequent saleroom notice analysing the two layers of gilding strataWith Jamb, London, (who undertook the removal of the late 19th century gilding by dry-stripping to reveal the 18th century gilding), where purchased by Robert Kime, 2022. It is difficult to attribute the mirror to a particular carver / gilder, though it is likely that the maker was London-based, and probably well-established as the scale, complexity and quality suggests that it was probably part of a major commission for a large house from an established maker. The British and Irish Furniture Makers Online lists ten carvers and gilders active in London in the second quarter of the 18th century, any of whom may be candidates for the manufacture of this mirror: of the group, perhaps the most likely is William Walters or Waters (fl. 1732-42), who supplied giltwood furniture and mirrors for Benjamin Mildmay, Earl Fitzwalter at Moulsham Hall, Essex, for Charles Wyndham at Petworth House, and for the Earl of Leicester's London house; also to be considered is Henry Joris (fl. 1739), who worked with Paul Petit on the magnificent frame for Frederick the Great of Prussia; the other makers' reputations are less prominent, although Robert Johnson (fl. 1737-49) who was recorded at the Golden Head, Frith St, St Ann's, made frames for Petworth House; Charles Groves, fl. 1750, 'at the Golden Head, the further End of Brownlow Street from Drury Lane'; Robert Pulsford (fl. 1749), of Knightsbridge; Thomas King, carver and gilder of Long Acre (his stock-in-trade sold in October 1742); Christopher Mason, carver and gilder of Charles Court (fl. 1749); Stephen Maren, carver and gilder of New Compton St, Soho (fl. 1749); Christopher Hammond, frame maker and gilder of Phoenix Court, Long Acre (fl. 1732); Godwin Prince, who advertised 'all sorts of cabinet & Upholsterers work in General, Likewise Carving & Gilding ... near Durham Yard, in the Strand' (fl. c. 1749) (British Museum, Heal 28.181).The rectangular 'tabernacle' design of mirror frame is derived from designs of the 1720s by the architect James Gibbs (1682-1754). These depend on overmantel designs by Inigo Jones which were published in Isaac Ware's Some Designs of Mr Inigo Jones and others (1731) - notably pl.31. Ware's book was highly influential in the development of English architecture and interiors in the 18th century. It brought together a collection of designs by two of the most important architects of the 17th and 18th centuries: Inigo Jones and William Kent. Jones was a leading figure in the introduction of Italian Renaissance architecture to England, while Kent was a leading exponent of the Palladian style, as promoted by his patron, the influential Italophile Lord Burlington: many of the books' designs were taken from interior schemes devised by Kent at Burlington House.FOR THE FULL DESCRIPTON AND PROVENANCE, PLEASE CLICK HERE.SALEROOM NOTICE:The catalogue entry is now 'A CARVED GILTWOOD MIRROR, 18TH CENTURY AND LATER' Condition Report:Overall there are scratches, marks, knocks, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are some losses, restorations and observations including:Holes to the back from previous wall fixings and some other vacant holes, with later modern hooks.The mirror plate is later and is backed with paper.There are some repairs including a later strut support to the back of the crest.There is evidence of old worm. There are some chips and knocks, for example to the tips of leaves, some with restoration.The overall patina has vestiges of the stripped gilding, bole, gesso and underlying wood.The not inconsiderable process of dry stripping means that some old repairs have restricted the extent of removal of the gesso so that the level of carved detail revealed has slight variances (for example the left side of the architectural pediment, compared to the right side). Some inaccessible areas of carving retain a little more gilding than other more accessible areas.The upper ledge is later ebonised with vacant holes and marks to the centre suggesting that there was previously a carved element corresponding to the carving directly below this area.As per the provenance note, the surface was dry stripped of gilding circa 2018-2021. Please see the condition report additional images for the document of analysis dated April 2021.Please see the additional condition report photographs as a visual reference of condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
