Burchardt Precht (d.1738), together with his sons Christian (d.1779) and Gustav (d.1773) were responsible for producing fine quality gilt-lead and gilt wood mirrors in Sweden during the 18th century. Although relatively little is known about Gustav, it has be noted that his father Burchardt, a sculptor and cabinet-maker originally from Bremen came to Stockholm in 1674 to work at Drottingham Palace. His son Christian was apprenticed to a goldsmith in 1721 before traveling extensively throughout Europe and returning to Stockholm in 1731. Later he became one of Sweden's leading Rococo silversmiths. The design of this mirror, originally executed in gilt-lead, has been attributed to both Burchardt and Gustav, one example of which has beveled blue glass borders and crest. An identical example, attributed to Gustav, is illustrated in G. Child, world mirrors 1650-1900, London, 1990, p.297, pl. 768.

Pr. George III Gilt Carton-Pierre and Giltwood Oval Mirrors, Manner John Linnell

By John Linnell

Located in New York, NY

A fantastic and extremely rare pair of George III period gilt Carton-Pierre and giltwood oval mirrors in the manner of John Linnell. Each mirror is gorgeously hand carved with meticulous detail and fine craftsmanship. The giltwood borders are designed with foliate crests above female masks, with aprons centered by a standing or recumbent left facing lamb. It is extremely rare to find a pair of mirrors of this date and in such amazing untouched condition, the mirror panels are most probably original and date to the late 1700s. Provenance: Jeremy, Ltd., London England, circa 1770 Carton-pierre, literal translation from the French - cardboard stone, was developed in the 18th century specifically to imitate wood and stone. The Formula typically included flour, chalk, sawdust, sand and plaster and bound with wax, resin, animal glues or gum arabic. The material could be moulded, bent and otherwise formed into the desired design. Preeminent makers like Gillows and John Linnell began using carton pierre in the late 1760s. The new material allowed for lacey decorative spandrels and festoons that could be made into nearly any length or shape required. These elements and the particular foliate umbrella canopy on this pair of mirrors relates to designs of William and John Linnell. The most famous example of this crest element is on the mirror supplied by Linnell to the 4th Duke of Beaufort for the State Bedroom at Badminton House...
