FAQs

Regency convex mirrors originated in early 19th-century Britain, featuring a protruding curved glass plate designed to reflect entire rooms. Frames were traditionally crafted from carved wood with gold leaf gilding, frequently decorated with crests such as perched eagles and spherical ball studs.

These mirrors are typically constructed from carved pine or lime wood coated in gesso and hand-applied gold leaf. The central glass plate is custom-moulded with a convex curve, surrounded by a deep moulded frame housing wooden spherules.

Authentic period pieces exhibit subtle signs of hand-carving irregularities, genuine leaf joins in the gilding, and age-related wear showing the reddish clay bole beneath the gold layer. Additionally, the mirror backboards usually consist of dark, unpainted pine panels with original iron fixings.

A convex mirror can be positioned above a fireplace mantel or console table to serve as a focal point in a hallway or living space. Its circular geometry and wide reflection contrast effectively with modern straight-lined furniture and dark contemporary walls.

The giltwood frame should only be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical sprays that dissolve water-gilded gesso. Glass surfaces ought to be cleaned by applying mirror cleaner directly onto a cloth rather than spraying the glass to prevent moisture seeping behind the frame.
