拍场告示

The catalogue illustration would suggest that the mirror plate is cracked. This is actually just a reflection and the mirror plate is not broken.

拍品专文

Gillows supplied a closely related 'Mahogany Looking Glass frame for plate' to the 5th Duke of Rutland (1778-1857) in February 1821 for £4.7.10. The sketch is illustrated in their Estimate Sketch Book for that year, no. 3086 (now in the Westminster City Archives). A pair of dressing-mirrors of this model was sold anonymously, Christie's, London, 16 September 2004, lot 27.
