Grand Chinese Floral Carved Mirror, c. 1850

About the Item

An exquisite example of the lavish taste of the Qing dynasty, this 19th century mirror combines intricately carved cedar and camphor woods. The era saw a stabile political climate and robust economy that fostered a desire for sumptuous and well-appointed furniture. This grand-sized mirror features delicate, airy carvings of bloom-filled vases and frolicking deer, emblems of longevity. Given the mirror's graceful, feminine appeal, it was likely originally hung in a lady’s sleeping quarters. Still resplendent, this majestic mirror imparts the warm glow of beautifully aged wood.
