Description
Pair of Meissen-Style Porcelain Mirrors

post-1902, German, marked by Saxonian Porcelain Factory, Carl Thieme, Potschappel, the frames decorated with polychrome encrusted flowers and figures of frolicking angels, with a mirror-inset oval crest.
h. 30-1/2", w. 17-3/4"
Condition
Both mirrors in overall very good to excellent condition. The putti with wings, limbs and digits intact (one upper left putto lacking the tip of a green frond in the lowered hand). Both examples with very scattered, minimal losses to bocage. Scattered old glue visible at rear edges where the wooden backs were attached. The three candle sockets on both examples were originally created with small holes at the rear for electrification. The sockets on one contain old threaded metal inserts probably to facilitate a conversion.
