FAQs

A pier mirror, or pier glass, is a tall, narrow wall mirror originally designed to be placed on the wall space between windows. Popular during the 18th and 19th centuries, these mirrors were frequently paired with a matching console table underneath to reflect natural light into the room.

Neoclassical pier mirrors were traditionally constructed from carved softwood or pine, overlaid with gesso and hand-applied gold leaf gilding. They featured mercury glass or early silvered glass mirror plates, alongside carved decorative elements such as fluted pilasters, mouldings, and beadwork.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of age such as subtle oxidisation or foxing on the glass, hand-cut joinery on the wooden backboards, and wear to the gilding revealing the reddish bole or white gesso beneath. The weight of hand-cast glass and irregularity in the carved details also distinguish original items from modern reproductions.

Positioning a pier mirror in a dark hallway, narrow foyer, or between two large windows enhances architectural proportions and creates a sense of depth. Pairing the console top with minimal contemporary ceramics or a single table lamp provides a balanced contrast against the classical gilded ornamentation.

Clean gilded frames using only a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster to prevent lifting fragile gold leaf. Avoid water or liquid glass cleaners on the gilded surface, applying cleaner sparingly to a cloth before wiping the mirror plate to prevent moisture from seeping behind the frame.
