An exceptional pair of George III neo-classical carved giltwood border glass mirrors in the manner of John Linnell. Of large scale, the central oval plates with divided mirror border glass with beaded surround, the gadrooned outer frame surmounted with a two tiered urn with anthemion cresting and rams head detailing to the sides with flowerheads, chains of husks and scrolling flowering acanthus vines, the apron similarly detailed with acanthus leaf drapery and flowering vines.
Of particularly fine quality.
