Summary

Description

This is an Aesthetic Movement overmantle, from Ireland, circa 1890. An overmantle is the mirror that one places over the mantle of a fireplace.

It is notable for its classic Aesthetic features including:

  • Ebonized wood with gilded highlights in the carvings.
  • Use of stylized peacock feathers (they look like a hieroglyphics of ferns), and stylized flowers.
  • A colored painting of a nature scene at the top, in this case several colored birds within a bough of flowers.

Copyright notes: I took this digital photograph. I release it to the public domain.

The premise is to help people understand what aesthetic movement furniture is.
