George II Burr Walnut and Giltwood Mirror

second quarter 18th century, English, the carved giltwood swan's-neck pediment framing a basket-of-flowers finial, the lower edge scrolled and with crossetted corners and the mirror plate lined with a carved giltwood trim, all in a field of burr walnut veneer.
h. 59-1/2", w. 31-1/4"

In overall very good condition. There is shrinkage at the seams where the veneer pieces meet due to age. No sign of losses. Minor scattered flaking to the gesso and gilded elements. No sign of losses to the carvings. Retains a beautiful overall patina. The mirror plate is a later replacement.
