whytock & reid walnut and burr walnut cheval mirror

Circa 1910, walnut and burr walnut cheval mirror made by Whytock & Reid of Edinburgh from a design by Sir Robert Lorimer. The mirror has a walnut frame with a burr walnut pediment and behind the frame to the top of the mirror is a shaped burr walnut panel. Inside of this sits a bevelled edge mirror, which has been shaped to follow the proud form of the frame. The mirror is held in place by 2 tapering walnut uprights, with carved finials at the top and scooped section in the centre. The mirror is suspended by 2 brass clips in the form of thistles. At the bottom of the mirror there is a crossover stretcher which is the same pattern as the uprights, with a further 2 curved and shaped stretchers below this. These have a raised section and a slightly carved area. 4 elegant cabriole legs protrude from these, and they finish with a pad foot typical of Lorimer. They end on cast brass castors. The back of the mirror has fielded panels and is polished which is usually unnecessary with a cheval mirror but shows the quality of Whytock & Reid. The mirror has excellent colour and condition, and it is very stylish and clean.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
