The design for this elegant pierglass, with sinuous frame wrapped with acanthus below a flower-filled basket and terminating in opposing C-scrolls, derives from designs by such influential craftsmen of the 1750's and 1760's as Matthias Lock (circa 1710-1765) and Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779), illustrated in P. Ward-Jackson, English Furniture Designs of the Eighteenth Century, 1958, figs. 66 and 78. Other related mirrors are illustrated in G. Child, World Mirrors, 1990, p. 115, figs. 148 and p. 128, fig. 181.
