This looking-glass frame was most probably modelled by Friedrich Elias Meyer. For a similar mirror with its matching toilet-service, see Georg Lenz, op. cit. (n.d.), Vol. II, pl. 129, fig. 585. A classic example of Friderician rococo, this looking-glass would almost certainly have been made for a close member of Frederick's circle or even for one of his palaces. For a tall porcelain looking-glass frame on the wall of Frederick the Great's Schreibzimmer in the Neue Palais, see Erich Köllmann and Margarete Jarchow, op. cit. (Munich 1987), Vol. I, p. 37, fig. 15.
