Queen Anne Period ‘All Glass’ Border Mirror (SN4950)
About the Item
A Queen Anne Period ‘All Glass’ Border Mirror
A rare early 18th century pier glass, of slender and strong form, retaining the majority of original bevelled plates, the central arched and decoratively bevelled upper plate above a large rectangular plate, with a beautifully multi-bevelled or ‘channelled’ outer marginal border, joined by decorated gilt paper fillets.
This type of bevelled glass was the most opulent form of framing in the late 17th, early 18th centuries, and typically would have hung in positions such as between pier windows, lightly tilted or ‘kited’ into the room, as was the fashion. A gentle and intricate detail that underlines the quality of this glass is the multiple lined bevels of the border glass plates that would have had an atmospheric coruscating quality by flickering candlelight, emphasising the intricate shaping and quiet stillness of form.
