专家说明

The George II French picturesque form of window-pier mirror, known as pier-glass, was generally intended to reframe an early 18th century glass and was designated the Modern style in Thomas Chippendale's, Gentleman and Cabinet-Makers Director, 1754. Roman foliage together with fruit and flowers, celebrating Peace and Plenty and Natures abundance, festoon the mirror's serpentined, antique-fretted and ribbon-scrolled frame, whose temple pediment is crowned by the shell love-badge of Venus, while its corners are scrolled with water-bubbled scallops.
