A George IV gilt framed convex mirror, William Wade, London, the circular plate within the moulded frame with applied torus, crest of acanthus leaves, and foliate tail piece centred on a shell, Wade's engraved label to the reverse, 108 cm high, 62 cm wide, other notes: William Wade is recorded working from 1786 until around 1840, for most of that time at 86 Leadenhall Street. Of the three printed labels used during his career, Christopher Gilbert (pictorial dictionary of marked London furniture 1700?1840 (1996)) dates that found on the present lot to (probably) the Regency period while other sources date its use to the 1820s and early 1830s.
