Item Details

An antique ornately round wrought iron mirror.


This impressive mirror is decorated with arched trefoils and twisted detailing, that would make an elegant showpiece in any space.


The ironwork is taken from the choir screen removed from Salisbury Cathedral in 1959 and later fitted with mirrored glass. 


The cathedral is known for its gothic architecture, with this piece designed in 1869 by Sir George Gilbert Scott and made by the renowned Francis Skidmore’s Art Metalworks, Coventry. 


Elements of the choir screen later became part of a collection at the V&A museum, London.


By looking closely at the round frame, an array of fine circular patterning and hints of original gilding can be discovered throughout the patina.


At more than 150 years old, the intricate wrought iron design was traditionally handcrafted by a talented 19th century blacksmith.


An impressive piece display piece for a period property looking to add style and grandeur. 


If you’re looking for a pair of mirrors, we have an almost identical design; find it under stock no. 32648 - please enquire for more details. Whether used as a pair or alone, it is a beautiful mirror for an indoor space.
