Queen Anne Japanned Pier Mirror

The divided upright bevelled arched mirror plate engraved at the centre with a stylised pineapple surrounded by repeat scolloped flowing forms, with a contained crack to the right side.

The moulded gold and black japanned border with raised decoration in the oriental manner with figures, dragons and pavilions surmounted with Christian crosses (probably later early 19th Century re-decoration), all within a carved outer strapwork edge, with some minor restoration to revive the finish. The lower mirror plate is replaced.
