A GEORGE II GILTWOOD MIRROR
CIRCA 1730, IN THE MANNER OF WILLIAM KENT
The rectangular bevelled plate within a panelled and sanded surround, the cresting with foliate scrolls and flowerheads, centred by a pedimented cartouche, with splayed palm fronds, the shaped apron centred by a scallop shell, gilding refreshed
57 x 34 in. (145 x 76 cm.)

Richard Jervoise Esq., Herriard Park, Hampshire, and by descent.
Probably with Major F H T Jervoise in the 1950s until sold.

Note du spécialiste

Much of the collection at Herriard Park was dispersed in multiple sales at both Christie's and Sotheby's following the death in 1959 of Major F H T Jervoise, and the house's demolition in 1961. It is likely that this mirror was purchased at around this time. A similar, albeit more heavily ornate mirror, formerly in the collection of the Earl of Haddington, is illustrated in G. Child 'World Mirrors', London, 1990, p.88, fig.87 and another nearly identical sold in these rooms, 27 February 1992, lot 34.
