A Pair of Late 19th Century Giltwood Mirrors
By Charles Andrea Nosotti
Carved in wood and water-gilded over gesso, the rectangular mirror plates have rounded, stepped corners and sit in frames of running guilloche, with leafy acanthus scrolls on the sides and a central crest at the top. One mirror has the maker’s brass label on the back.
English, circa 1885
Nosotti & Co
The firm of Nosotti & Co, ‘looking-glass and frame manufactory,’ was founded by the Milan-born Charles Andrea Nosotti in 1822 and specialised in carved and gilded items. From their Oxford Street premises in London, the company gained a reputation for well-designed and high-quality carved items, expanding their repertoire to include furniture as well as mirrors and frames. They presented their work at several World Fairs, including the 1862 London International Exhibition and the Paris 1867 Expo. The business was wound up in 1886, when a sale of their stock was held.
