C. F. Harsdorff, attributed (b. 1735, d. 1799, Danish arcitect) A pair of Danish Louis XVI giltwood mirrors, carved with festoons and flower vases, each with original two piece mirror glass. Late 18th century. H. 142 cm. W. 60 cm.(2) The architect Caspar Frederik Harsdorff represented the simple Neo-Classicist style which was a reaction against the Rococo. Two of the best examples of his work are his own house Kongens Nytorv 3–5 (built in 1780) and Erichsens Palace - also on Kongens Nytorv (built 1799). He was ready to put his architectural skills to the service of interior decoration, and also the design and making of furniture. Because of his obvious talent Harsdorff was appointed Court Builder and professor. He had numerous pupils, including his friend and colleague C.F. Hansen. Many cabinet-makers were inspired by Harsdorff's stylistic direction - inspiration which is clearly apparent in the present mirrors. Condition Condition report available on request.
