Why You’ll Love It
An elegant statement piece by acclaimed IGMA Artisan John Hodgson, this finely handcrafted oval wall mirror is a fine example of the grandeur of European Baroque and Rococo design in exquisite miniature. Cast in English pewter and richly finished with heavy 22-karat gold electroplating, the ornate openwork frame is alive with flowing acanthus scrolls, delicate floral ornament, and an impressive crest that lends the mirror a distinctly aristocratic presence.
This mirror is signed and dated 1995. It features genuine mirror glass set within its beautifully pierced gilt pewter frame. Whether displayed above a fireplace, dressing table, console, or grand entry, it instantly elevates a room.

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 While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.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.
