Lot #47: Exquisite Red Chinoiserie Lacquer Mirror – Hand-Gilded Decorative Masterpiece

ANCIENT OVER 100 YEARS OLD ////VERY RARE ///////////:: 1901 to 1915 EST HAND PAINTED Presenting a distinguished Chinoiserie-style lacquered wall mirror, an elegant piece that blends old-world craftsmanship with timeless decorative appeal. Framed in a rich vermillion red lacquer, the surround is adorned with hand-gilded Asian-inspired scenic motifs—pagodas, floral clusters, latticework, and narrative vignettes—each applied with remarkable finesse. The subtle wear to the lacquered surface only enhances its authenticity, giving the piece the warm, lived-in character associated with 19th-century and early 20th-century decorative arts. The mirror plate itself retains gentle age-appropriate silvering, creating that sophisticated, softly muted reflection highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike. This piece immediately elevates any space—perfect above a console, in an entryway, or as an anchor for a curated gallery wall. This is the type of accent one expects to find in heritage estates, boutique hotels, or refined luxury interiors—a decorative mirror that is not merely functional, but a statement of taste. Pieces of this calibre rarely surface in such cohesive and display-ready condition. Ideal for collectors of Chinoiserie, Regency Revival, or antique lacquerwork, and an exceptional décor investment for anyone seeking a single piece that brings craftsmanship, colour, and history into the room.
