An exceptional carved pine and aged decorated architectural mirror in the manner of Mathias Lock. The bold architectural frame featuring vigorous figural elements to its design such as an eagle cresting and herm pilasters, epitomise the early 18th century phase of Palladian-inspired classical taste in England, promoted by William Kent and his circle. Other details such as dense acanthus foilage and c scrolls to the surround and apron, anticipate the vogue for rococo ornament of the 1750s featured in the pattern
books of Thomas Chippendale and his contemporaries. Bearded masks such as those frequenting the present mirror are also firmly associated with Matthias Locks Repertoire of ornament as typified by a drawing for a side table in the Victoria and Albert museum illustrated in Christopher Gilbert. Bespoke finishing available
