1740'S ENGLISH QUEEN ANNE CROTCHED MAHOGANY GENTLEMAN'S SHAVING MIRROR

We take the highest pride in offering you this fabulous 1740's English Queen Anne period mahogany three drawer Gentleman's shaving mirror. This mirror is supported on two uprights that have the original brass threaded cheval bolts with decorative knobs. It has its original gold gilt gesso liner and intricately original, beveled mirror glass. This is a super attractive shaving mirror with an Ogee curved profiled front to the base containing three drawers. Two of the drawers (the right and left sides) have been professionally rebuilt and restored in addition to all the four finely crafted bracket feet. These are period accurate feet for this mirror and a sizable investment has been made in correctly restoring the base of this mirror. The piece is coming up on 300 years old and pieces don't get this age without some issues and attention being paid to them. One other issue worthy of mention: at some point a previous owner had installed probably brass finials with threaded rods on the tops of the uprights. We are offering it the way it is. If you would like finials we would be happy to direct you to several sources for them. This is a fantastic piece and we were lucky to obtain it. The shaving mirror is 17" long, 8" wide and 23 1/2" tall.
