The mirror is designed in the George II picturesque fashion with the nature-deity's shell displayed in its triumphal-arched and antique fluted temple pediment; while its satyr-headed pilasters raised on winged cartouche brackets relate to a mirror executed in the mid-1740s for Hinton House, Somerset by the celebrated Long Acre carver and author of pattern-books Matthias Lock (d. 1765). With reeds, sacred to Pan, issuing from its satyr-headed, hollowed and truss-scrolled pilasters, it related in particular to pier-glass ornament issued in Locks, Six Sconces, 1744 (M. Snodin ed, Rococo; Art and design in Hogarth's England, London, 1984, pl. XIII and L4).
