The Restoration of a Pier Mirror
American mid-19th century gold-gilded Renaissance Revival Victorian pier mirror with a marble-top console, attributed to John Jelliff.
John Jelliff (July 30, 1813 – July 2, 1893) was an American furniture designer and manufacturer based in Newark, New Jersey, during the second half of the 19th century. By the 1850s, John Jelliff & Co. had become the leading furniture manufacturer in New Jersey. Furniture bearing the Jelliff & Co. (or J.J. & Co.) maker’s mark is extremely rare, with most pieces only being attributed to the firm.
Jelliff’s work is included in the permanent collections of
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
New Jersey Historical Society.
Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Brooklyn Museum.
Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields.
Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach.
Jenny Lind (1820 – 1887) was a Swedish Opera singer who was famed and much admired across Europe and North America.Also known as the “Swedish Nightingale,” she became a national obsession. Jenny Lind hairpieces, fireplaces, beds, tobacco, scarves, and anything you can imagine were flying off the shelves. Bakeries, ships, towns, and more were named in her honor.
