The mahogany columns, crowned with Corinthian capitals, are elegant in their symmetry and classical ornamentation, while the fretwork overlay on the lower panel creates a distinctive focal point. The central mirror, softly beveled, gives a refined appeal, and the delicate gilt beading around each of the three mirrors ties this timeless piece together.
Pier mirrors were first used in the 18th century, designed to hang between two windows to add natural light to a living space in a time when interiors did not have the benefit of electricity.
