94 A PAIR OF GEORGE III GILTWOOD BORDER GLASS MIRRORS A pair of late 18th century Adam period giltwood and composition border glass mirrors retaining the original bevelled centre plates and border glass mirror plates and most of the original gilding, each having an upright rectangular bevelled centre plate within a moulded inner frame with ribbon decoration and mitred border glass plates with later flower carved fillets within a beaded and gadrooned moulded outer frame. Note: The composition moulding detail, a pre-moulded plaster mixture applied wet to the timber core, is of outstanding quality. The bevelled centre plates are probably of an earlier date. They are, however, original to these mirrors. English, circa 1790 Height: 41ž in; 106 cm Width: 29½ in; 75 cm
