EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant and ornate interiors of the 1880s, as depicted in Plate 197 from Mary Evans Prints Online. This image showcases a stunning collection of chimney glasses, over mantels, and girandoles, each displaying unique patterns and styles in black and gilt. Chimney glasses, also known as overmantels, were decorative pieces placed above fireplaces to conceal the chimney breast and add visual interest to the room. The four examples in Plate 197 demonstrate the versatility of this Victorian decorative element, with oval and rectangular shapes, as well as intricate floral designs adorning the glass. Girandoles, on the other hand, were tall, ornate mirrors with multiple branches that held candles or flowers. These elegant accessories were often placed on mantels to reflect light and add a touch of grandeur to the space. The plate showcases two girandoles, one featuring a simple, rectangular mirror and the other boasting an intricate, floral design. The black and gilt color scheme, popular during the Victorian era, adds a sense of sophistication and timelessness to these decorative pieces. The use of mirror in some of the designs further enhances the illusion of space and light in the room. This beautiful plate offers a glimpse into the rich history of interior design during the 1880s, showcasing the intricate patterns, ornate styles, and attention to detail that defined the Victorian era. Whether you're an interior designer, historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of bygone eras, Plate 197 is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of decorative arts.
