拍品专文

This pattern of tripartite overmantel mirror, with triumphal-arched centre in the Louis Quatorze Roman manner, is inspired by the Nouveaux Livre de Chaminees a la Holondaise, 1712 issued by Daniel Marot (d.1752) 'architect' to William III. A mirror, similarly framed in coloured glass, is now displayed in the King's Bedroom at Hampton Court Palace. The present mirror's verre eglomisé border relates to that of a pair of mirrors at Chatsworth, Derbyshire that have been attributed to John Gumley, who was a freeman of the Company of Looking Glass Sellers (A. Bowett, English Furniture, Woodbridge, 2002, pls. P:50, 9:49 and 9:55).
It may conceivably have been made by the firm Lenygon & Morant, who were established in Old Burlington Street in 1915 and specialised in furniture in the early 18th century style.
