Arched rectangular mirror in a carved giltwood sanded frame, the inner edge with carved Vitruvian scroll, the outer edge carved with egg and dart and the sides hung with acanthus husks, the cresting with central shell, the lower edge with inverted and reversed central shell, fitted with two brass candleholders.

At least ten 'sconces' (mirrors with candle-branches) were supplied for Frederick, Prince of Wales, at Kew and Hampton Court in the 1730s by the cabinet-maker to the Great Wardrobe, Benjamin Goodison. Prince Frederick's Apartment at Hampton Court was at the northern end of the east front of the Palace adjoining the Queen's State Apartment. This mirror belongs to number of this general pattern, some with candle-branches, which survive at Hampton Court Palace and which can be connected with this commission. These mirrors are traditionally identified with an entry in Goodison's account of 1733 for '3 large Glass Sconces in carved & gilt frames wth. two wrot. Arms to Each', for which £27 was charged. Matching surviving pieces with the imprecise entries in the Lord Chamberlain's accounts is difficult.

The design of this mirror reflects the neo-Palladian style of architecture introduced by William Kent, Master Carpenter of the Office of Board of Works and architect overseeing refurbishments at Hampton Court during the 1730s.
