A pair of George II carved giltwood mirrors, circa 1730-40, possibly Irish

the arched bevelled plate within a foliate carved and strapwork border, surmounted with a scrolled acanthus cresting with a punched ground, within a broken swan-neck pediment, the uprights with floral and foliate swags including fruit, with a shaped apron centred with an acanthus clasp, re-gilt

171cm. high, 81cm. wide; 5ft. 7¼in., 2ft. 8in.

Sotheby's New York, The Collection of Jerome C. Neuhoff, 25 January 1986, lot 143.

The low relief decoration and broad, flattened proportions of the present mirror suggest they are possibly of Irish origin. For similar, see those illustrated The Knight of Glin and J. Peill, Irish Furniture, London, 2007, pp. 259-261.
