Item Details

An elegant Queen Anne period and later walnut and laburnum banded toilet mirror, incorporating early 18th century elements. The shaped rectangular mirror plate is contained within a frame with contrasting laburnum banding, supported between shaped uprights above a walnut veneered base. The base is fitted with three short drawers over one long drawer, with small brass knobs and a central engraved brass escutcheon, and is raised on small bun feet.


 


The combination of richly coloured walnut and contrasting laburnum banding is particularly attractive, and the mirror has a pleasing sculptural quality typical of early 18th century dressing furniture.

CONDITION


There are marks, scratches and small knocks commensurate with age and use, together with minor splits, losses and historic repairs to the veneers. The mirror plate, shaped supports and feet appear to be later replacements or alterations, although themselves of some age. The drawers run smoothly and the joints are sound and stable. Overall, this is an attractive and decorative early 18th century and later toilet mirror, with particularly good colour and contrasting walnut and laburnum figuring.
