This mirror relates closely to the work of John Linnell. A number of drawings and mirrors executed by Linnell are of similar proportion and incorporate floral garlands and foliate scrolls. Notable among these are a pair of pier-glasses executed for Sir Monoux Cope for Bramshill, Hampshire (illustrated in H. Hayward and P. Kirkham, William and John Linnell, vol. II, 1980, p. 98, pl. 187-188) another pair illustrated op cit., pp. 99 and 106, pl. 189 and 204, and a further drawing in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (see H. Hayward, 'The Drawings of John Linnell in the Victoria and Albert Museum', F.H.S.J., 1969, fig. 47). A virtually identical pair of mirrors from the J. Paul Getty Museum was sold in these Rooms, 12 October 1991, lot 104 and one from the pair is illustrated in C. Claxton Stevens and S. Whittington, 18th Century English Furniture: The Norman Adams Collection, 1983, p. 427.
