Date 1765
Period 1750-1850, 18th century
Origin England
Medium Giltwood
Dimension 144.5 x 68.5 cm (56⁷/₈ x 27 inches)

The silvering on the glass was already very deteriorated when the mirrors were photographed by Moss Harris in 1926 and it is likely that this deterioration was the reason for changing the mirror plates.
