For your consideration is this beautiful 18th Century, Queen Anne / Venetian style Chinoiserie red lacquer mirror. During the late 17th and early 18th centuries, European artisans drew significant inspiration from imported Chinese and Japanese lacquer ware. They aimed to capture the allure of Eastern designs, incorporating elements such as pagodas, landscapes, traditionally dressed figures, and mythical creatures. The red lacquer finish was crafted to resemble the imported Asian lacquer ware that had become highly desirable. These mirrors were considered luxury pieces, sought after by European aristocrats who favored exotic, foreign-inspired decor. The artwork on these mirrors often portrayed an idealized and romanticized interpretation of the East, shaped to appeal to European tastes rather than provide an accurate depiction of Chinese culture. The growing influence of the British, Dutch, and French East India Companies further encouraged the import of Asian goods, intensifying Europe's fascination with Chinese porcelain, silk, and lacquer ware. As a result, European furniture makers integrated Chinese-inspired motifs into their designs, including decorative mirrors such as this one. This mirror shows a wood construction with red lacquering in the Queen Anne / Venetian style. It shows Oriental, hand painted motifs throughout the top, sides and bottom showing buildings, houses, floral designs and a man and woman in a boat on a river. The piece shows good condition despite its age and use throughout the years, with little wear present. No signs of damage are noted. The mirror section measures 21 5/8" L x 12 5/8" W, while the entire piece measures 28" L x 16 5/8" W x 1 5/8" D. It weighs 8 pounds and 14 ounces.
