The arch-crested mirror is designed in the early 18th century Roman fashion and with its foliated Venus-shell cartouche raised above wave-scrolled reeds and corresponds to the cresting of a satyr-headed pier-glass designed in the early 1720s for Erddig, Wales (R. Edwards and M. Jourdain, Georgian Cabinet-Makers, London, 1955, fig. 36). The Erdigg mirror has been identified as the work of the St. Paul's Churchyard cabinet-maker John Belchier (d. 1753) (O. Garnett, Erddig, 1999, p. 48).

A related mirror, also possibly by Belchier, with waved reeds supporting the cartouched arms of the King family of Ashby de la Launde, Lincolnshire was sold by the late Mary Fry (neé Fane), Fulbeck Hall, Lincolnshire; Sotheby's, Olympia, 8 October 2002, lot 14 (£146,750).
