Why You’ll Love It
An incredible Rococo cartel wall mirror, handcrafted in 2007 by the late UK master artisan and IGMA Fellow, John Hodgson. It is plated in brilliant 22kt gold. Cast with a breathtaking level of detail, the frame features classic 18th-century French Rococo asymmetry. It is heavily decorated with deeply undercut acanthus leaf scrolls, fluid C-scrolls, and organic floral flourishes. The top crown boasts a beautiful, sweeping architectural wave that mimics a cresting ocean wave or stylized plumage, a hallmark of high-end Rococo metalwork. Tapering elegantly down into an openwork cartouche accented by a central hand-cast flower blossom. Fitted with an optically true glass mirror insert, giving an authentic scale reflection to high-end miniature rooms.
Perfect for a French Rococo salon, Louis XV bedroom, château dressing room, grand entrance hall or gilded gallery wall.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
