Description

Arts and Crafts Glasgow School brass mirror. The bevelled glass mirror is surrounded by a brass frame embossed with celtic strapwork decoration. An attractive piece. Excellent original condition with a little light wear

The Arts and Crafts Movement originated in Britain during the late 19th century and was characterized by a style of decoration reminiscent of medieval times. The primary artist associated with the movement is William Morris, whose work was reinforced with writings from John Ruskin. The movement placed a high importance on the quality of craftsmanship while emphasizing the importance for the arts to contribute to economic reform.

Morris was instrumental in the founding of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., which would later evolve to just Morris & Co. Morris & Co. and their publishing division Kelmscott Press contributed much of the work that is associated with the Arts and Crafts movement. The style is associated with many different types of design including architecture, typography, book printing, textiles and interior design.

FAQs

The Glasgow School emerged in the late 19th century, heavily influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Nouveau, featuring distinct stylized motifs, Celtic revival elements, and handcrafted metalwork often associated with designers like Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

These pieces typically utilise sheet brass or copper worked using repousse and chasing techniques, where designs are hammered from the reverse to create raised relief patterns, often mounted on a wooden backing.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period construction methods such as hand-cut screws, aged patination on the metal surface, handmade joinery on the wooden backing, and subtle irregularities inherent to manual craftsmanship.

A metallic statement piece adds warmth and texture to contemporary spaces; hang it above a simple sideboard or fireplace mantel to create a focal point that contrasts cleanly with minimalist walls.

Clean only with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the historical patination. Avoid abrasive polishes or chemical cleaners that strip the aged surface and diminish the value of the object.
