An Impressive Pair of 18th Century Carved Giltwood Mirrors⁠ ⁠ Of Chippendale form with broad and handsome proportions, with extensive and elaborate foliate carving and cresting, with many of the original 18th Century marginal and central plates (some later). Carefully and sensitively dry stripped to reveal the original soft gilt surface.⁠ ⁠ Provenance: Knight Frank & Rutley, “The Contents of Arle Bury”, May 28-30, 1935. Arle Bury (Arlebury today) was built in 1774 as a ‘handsome Italianate Georgian mansion’ by William Harris, who also created the Hampshire parkland and extensive formal gardens. Early in the 19th century, Admiral F J P Marx occupied the house, although he was often absent in the duties of the Crown. The Walford family took over Arlebury Park in 1883, where they remained for three generations.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Height: 168 cm, 5 foot 6 1/2 ”⁠ Width: 94 cm, 3 foot 1″⁠ Depth: 8 cm, 3″⁠ ⁠ ⁠

We have recently returned from Italy, hand selecting marble blocks to add to our exceptional inventory, choosing only certain important marbles from historic quarries. ⁠ Exquisite blocks of Breccia Medicea and Calacatta Oro, and antique blocks from Serravezza and Stazzema, have recently been added to the collection and are available to carve any of our chimneypiece designs.⁠ ⁠ Photo: @owengale
