A fine George III giltwood and carton-pierre wall mirror in the manner of James and Robert Adam. The slender frame encloses the rectangular plate and is surmounted by opposing griffins centred by a slender urn and ears of wheat.

English, c.1770. Provenance: The Estate of the late Sir George Dowty (1901-1975, inventor, engineer and businessman) and Lady Marguerite Dowty, thence by family descent.

Notes: Carton-Pierre is effectively a type of papier mache, popularised in the 18th century for its ability to be moulded to create adornments for mirrors or even ceiling cornices, as a cheaper alternative to plaster.

A set of eight framed steel engravings after Thorvaldsen's monumental marble frieze, depicting the "Entrance of Alexander the Great into Babylon". Completed in 1812, this subject was chosen by the marble sculptor to decorate the Palazzo Quirinale in Rome, before a visit from Napoleon. The emperor was so taken with the masterpiece, that he commissioned a replica for the Louvre in Paris, over thirty three metres in length. The sculptor created another version for the Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen also.

This set of eight engravings faithfully reproduces the quality of this great work of sculpture, which includes a couple of single figures, later conceived by Thorvaldsen, to increase the scale of the subject for the later commissions. Samuel Amsler (1791-1848) after drawings by Johann Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869) Published by J.H. Felsing, Darmstadt,1835.
