FAQs

Swedish Empire Revival furniture and mirrors, dating from the late nineteenth century, draw inspiration from French Neoclassicism and earlier Nordic interpretations of Empire design. Key features include clean architectural lines, pediments, column pilasters, and the extensive use of honey-toned native timbers like flame birch and satinwood.

Pier mirrors from this era were typically framed with timber veneers laid over pine carcases, featuring highly figured cuts such as flame or curly birch. The glass plates were coated using mercury or silvering techniques, held in place by pine backboards.

Authentic period pier mirrors display hand-cut backboards, natural oxidisation or foxing on the glass plate, and subtle movement in the veneer. Look for classical architectural details such as arch top motifs and protruding cornices.

A pier mirror is traditionally hung on narrow wall sections between windows, inside entrance hallways, or directly above a low sideboard or console table. Its vertical proportions draw the eye upward and bounce natural light throughout the room.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfiber cloth and treat the wood with natural beeswax sparingly to maintain moisture. Avoid applying liquid glass cleaners directly to the mirror to prevent moisture from seeping behind the frame and degrading the silvering.
