These flower-festooned oval pier-glasses, incorporating Chinese elements, are designed in the George II 'Modern' or 'Pittoresque' fashion. Crowned by a courtier attended by exotic birds and preparing her 'toilette' in a bell-hung and pagoda-roofed garden kiosk, these mirrors directly copy a pattern for 'Pier Glass Frames' published by Thomas Chippendale in his Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director of 1762, pl. 174.
