English George II Figured Walnut Mirror with Etched Glass Panel Depicting Daphne c.1740A rare and exceptional English George II figured walnut mirror, circa 1740. The mirror retains fine plate glass manufactured at the Vauxhall Glassworks (later known as Dawson, Bowles & Co), the foremost centre of English mirror production in the early 18th century. The cresting is formed by a single pane of engraved and etched glass depicting Daphne, surrounded by flower filled urns. She stands upon a canopied pedestal, holding a palm and olive branch
