HISTORIC PROVENANCEThe Mirror Chippendale is inspired by Thomas Chippendales (17181779) design for a mirror (ca. 175362) in The Met collection. In 1754, Chippendale published the first edition of his successful book Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director, which contains 161 engraved plates for a range of furniture in the Gothic, Chinese, and Rococo styles, plus a series of plain domestic pieces. Though this particular mirror design wasnt published in the book, its reflective of Chippendales popular English-Rococo aesthetic. Hand carved in an ornate black finish, our mirror features elegant bevelled glass.
