Thomas Johnson Style Gilt Mirror
Thomas Johnson Style Gilt Mirror
This magnificent Thomas Johnson style gilt mirror is masterfully hand-carved from solid mahogany and gilded in gold leaf. A true testament to fine craftsmanship, it is the result of skilled artisans from around the world, working under the expert guidance of Brights of Nettlebed director, Henry Stamp.
Inspired by the George II era, this giltwood pier mirror features an intricate depiction of Aesop’s fable of the Fox and the Grapes—the origin of the phrase “sour grapes” in the English language.
Thomas Johnson, a highly influential 18th-century carver and gilder, was renowned for his elaborate rococo designs. His 1758 publication, A Collection of Designs, cemented his legacy and greatly influenced the artistic style of the period.
Whether displayed in a grand living room or an elegant hallway, this stunning Thomas Johnson gilt mirror is sure to be a captivating centrepiece.
