Ripple moldings, the technique used to create the frame of this mirror, were first developed in Germany in the early 17th century for frames and furniture. The process involves using a pattern and follower system to duplicate a waveform onto a stock piece. Joseph Moxon’s Mechanick Exercises of 1678–80 includes a well-known engraving and description of the technique.
