Antique Wall Mirrors
MIRRORS wall, and pier glasses
The wall mirrors of the walnut period were mounted in a rectangular frame of deal, with a convex section which was veneered in walnut and embellished with parquetry or marquetry if required.
With the influence of architects (and particularly William Kent) on furnishings in the 1715-1740 period, the wall mirror became the object of architectural treatment. There were essentially two sorts of mirrors in a room an overmantel mirror above the fireplace, and pier glasses on the pier walls between windows, hung over pier tables. The overmantels tended to be given the full treatment pediments, etc. etc., and are rather outside the scope of the normal collector. However the narrow pier glasses can be used in the modern house and are quite charming.
The original Vauxhall glass was rather thin and had a very shallow bevel. Where the glass was very long it had to be made in two pieces. Gesso was often used for the gilt versions and was useful for less important
frames where the cost of carving was high.
From about 1745 a lighter form was used in rather rococo style and the Adam and Chippendale designs reflect this. Later on the convex mirror became popular with its gilt balls and surmounting eagle.
At the turn of the eighteenth century mirror decoration was rather French Empire in style neo-classical. As the century progressed, manufacturers made large overmantels and smaller girandoles in plaster which
emulated rococo or exuberant French styles.
