', 127cm high, 69cm wide overall Provenance: Private Collection, Worcestershire Thomas Fentham was a carver, gilder, glass grinder and picture frame maker and occupied various addresses in The Strand between 1774-1825. Through labelled examples of his mirrors, the name Fentham remains synonymous with handsome convex mirrors and architectural looking glasses. Payments to the firm are recorded amongst the papers at Erddig in Wales, where the gilt tables in the Gallery are thought to be almost certainly by Fentham as the decoration corresponds to that on a labelled picture frame in the Chinese Room.
