拍品专文

These giltwood mirrors are influenced by the George III 'picturesque' style popularised in Matthias Lock and Henry Copland's A New Book of Ornaments, London, 1752 and Thomas Chippendale's Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, London, 1754-62. Bordered by flowers, birds, and acanthus-scrolls, the mirrors exemplify the taste for the exotic found in Chippendale's rococo style.
