A pair of decorative wall mirrors featuring screen-printed graphics of rural nostalgic scenes. One mirror, titled Summer, depicts a pair of heavy horses pulling a traditional wooden horse-drawn caravan, or vardo, through a field of daisies. The second mirror, titled Autumn, shows a pair of heavy horses pulling a wagon laden with a hay rick, with poppies and wheat in the foreground. Both scenes include decorative gold-toned gothic-style lettering at the top centre identifying the season. The mirrors are housed in matching gilt-finished wooden or composite frames with a reeded profile. These items are consistent with late 20th-century British decorative trends celebrating traditional rural life and heavy horse heritage. No manufacturer marks or signatures are visible on the front of the mirrors.
Condition report:
The Autumn mirror exhibits noticeable foxing and silvering loss to the mirrored background, particularly around the central image area. The Summer mirror appears in better condition with less prominent silvering deterioration, though minor edge wear is present. Both frames show light surface wear and minor scuffing consistent with age.
