EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century mirror case, titled "Mirror case (valve de miroir) (ivory)" is a true masterpiece of the French School. Measuring at 12.2x12x1.2 cm, it can be found in the prestigious Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The intricate details depicted on this ivory case tell a story of love and romance. The scene portrays the Attack on the Castle of Love, with the God of Love throwing arrows at lovers to ignite their passion. A lady crowns her lover with a chaplet while another holds a dog close to her heart. Couples embrace and court each other amidst jousting knights in armor and horses galloping by. The corner terminals feature four crouching monsters that add an element of mystery and intrigue to this exquisite piece. Traces of polychromy and gilding can be seen, with red highlighting the rim and gold accentuating the crouching monsters. On its reverse side, there is a depression for a missing mirror which was once described as having a seal with the shield of France under a crown between two angels protected by an ivory cover. Currently covered in dark green waxy material that forms almost a complete circle around the inner surface, patches of adhesive are visible where it has been attached. This remarkable artifact showcases not only exceptional craftsmanship but also offers us insight into medieval notions of love and courtship through its intricate imagery.
