A PAIR OF GEORGE IV CARVED GILT WOOD CONVEX MIRRORS circa 1820

each convex mirror plate within a reeded ebonized molding and with a stepped outer molded frame, the crest with a stag at lodge on a rockwork platform before a spray of oak leaves and acorns and flanked by foliate sprays, the apron similarly carved with sprays of leaves centered by a sunflower above pendant leaves and with two scrolled candlearms with dish-form glass drip pans hung with faceted rule drops.

Overall in good restored condition and retaining much of the original gilding; each with minor old repaired breaks to the cresting and with minor rubbing, wear and very minor chips to the gilding; the reeded ebonized molding to each with age cracks; some of the drops lacking and some with very minor wear and chips to the extremities. The left mirror (as illustrated in the catalogue) with cresting slightly loose; the stag is lacking one antler; the mirror glass seems to be replaced and with pitting and minor losses to the slivering. The right mirror (as illustrated in the catalogue) with a slightly loose cresting and apron; the stag has both antlers, one of which is attached, the other is loose but present; the mirror glass seems to be original with crystallization and very minor pitting.
