Crafted with meticulous detail, its hand-carved black-finished frame complements the beveled mirror glass. This mirror combines Chippendale’s 18th-century elegance with contemporary flair. Although not published in Chippendale’s ‘Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director,’ it embodies his classic aesthetic, making it a sophisticated addition to any space.

HISTORIC PROVENANCE

 

The Mirror Chippendale is inspired by Thomas Chippendale’s (1718–1779) design for a mirror (ca. 1753–62) in The Met collection. In 1754, Chippendale published the first edition of his successful book Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director, which contains 161 engraved plates for a range of furniture in the Gothic, Chinese, and Rococo styles, plus a series of plain domestic pieces. Though this particular mirror design wasn’t published in the book, it’s reflective of Chippendale’s popular English-Rococo aesthetic. Hand carved in an ornate black finish, our mirror features elegant bevelled glass.

Care instructions

How to care for wood veneer

Veneer furniture is covered in a thin layer of real hardwood. Veneers are often used in high end furniture pieces and can be more costly than solid wood. Mid 20th century it became especially popular in interiors when teak wood was often used for Danish design furniture.

To fully enjoy your wood veneer furniture, please follow a few basic rules:

Cleaning and maintenance

Wood veneer requires gentle care to preserve the finish. Dust regularly and clean with a soft dry cloth.

Remove spills immediately as moisture can cause the veneer to peel off the surface. Prevent moisture from getting underneath the veneer by quickly and thoroughly cleaning up any spills. In case of water rings, rub the area with naphtha. Follow up with an application of oil or petroleum jelly to completely erase the mark.
