Antique 1760s Chippendale Style Wall Mirror with Giltwood Phoenix

A striking antique 1760s Chippendale style wall mirror , beautifully decorative and full of Georgian character. The mirror features a richly shaped mahogany frame with elegant scrolling edges, carved details, and a wonderful architectural silhouette typical of mid-18th century English design.

The frame is centred by a bevelled mirror plate, bordered by a decorative giltwood inner slip with carved foliate detail. The gilt finish adds warmth and contrast against the dark polished wood, giving the mirror a refined, country house presence.

To the crest is a wonderful carved and gilded phoenix bird , set within an open circular mount, giving the piece a highly decorative and symbolic quality. The phoenix, traditionally associated with renewal and rebirth, adds a dramatic focal point to the mirror. A carved gilt shell motif to the lower section further enhances the Georgian decorative style.

The mirror has a beautiful aged patina, with visible signs of age and use throughout, including wear to the gilding, surface marks, small splits, rubbing, and antique character to the frame. The reverse also shows age, construction details, and wear consistent with a period piece.

This is a highly characterful Chippendale style wall mirror, ideal for a hallway, drawing room, bedroom, study, country house interior, or above a console or fireplace. It has that theatrical Georgian charm: elegant, ornamental, and just slightly mythical with its gilded phoenix crest.

A rare and decorative antique wall mirror with giltwood detailing and phoenix crest, full of 18th century style, presence, and historic charm.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Sea freight delivery can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
