專家說明

The design for this impressively large rococo pier mirror adorned with naturalistic floral garlands, scrolling acanthus and rockwork is clearly influenced by the work of Thomas Chipppenale published in The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director. Similar examples are illustrated in the 3rd edition of The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director in 1763 plate CLXX1a.
One of a pair of pier glasses on an equally grand scale and similar design from Hagley Park, Worcestershire are illustrated by R. Edwards in The Dictionary of English Furniture, Vol. II, London, 1924, p. 345, fig. 91.
