A Swedish Mirror, Circa 1680

A fine swedish gilt lead & etched glass mirror,attributed to burchard precht (1651-1738)
The arched cresting with an urn shaped surmount above cherub mounts, acanthus scrolls and paterae flanking central cartouches of leaves and grapes within plain border plates, the rectangular plate below, within a border of six canted, etched margin plates decorated with leafy tendrils, flowers and birds, the frame with elaborate bead mouldings including leaf and gadrooned ornament.
This mirror relates stylistically to a group of mirrors of an idiosyncratic Swedish 'Regence' design associated with the furniture-maker and sculptor Burchard Precht (1651-1738)
By 1674 he is recorded as having established himself in Stockholm working at the Swedish Royal residence of Drottingholm Palace where he became 'carver to the court' in 1682. Before the end of the 17th century he broadened his experience by travelling with the court architect Nicodemus Tessin to Paris and Rome, which had a significant influence on the development of his designs.
Related mirrors by Precht are illustrated in T. Sylvén and E. Welander-Berggren, Speglar Speglmakare & Fabrikörer i Sverige, 1650-1850, Stockholm, 2000, pp.'s 194, 196-197 and S. Wallin, Nordiska Museets Möbler fran Svenska Herremanshem, Stockholm, 1931, vol. I, figs. 335 and 337.
