FAQs

Pier mirrors originated in the late 17th century and were specifically designed to be hung on the pier, the section of wall space between two windows. They gained immense popularity during the Regency and Victorian periods, often paired with pier tables to reflect natural light and create an illusion of greater spatial volume.

Traditional pier mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden base, often made of pine or softwood, coated in gesso and water-gilded with genuine gold leaf. The glass plates were historically manufactured using silver or mercury backing, housed within robust mortise and tenon or lap-jointed frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as foxing or silver loss on the mirror plate, hand-cut glass irregularities, and the application of gesso over carved wood rather than modern resin. Examination of the backboards, fixings, and structural wear also helps confirm period manufacture.

An antique gilt mirror works effectively as a focal point when hung above a modern console table or positioned to reflect natural light in a minimalist living room. The contrast between ornate historical craftsmanship and clean contemporary lines adds visual depth and textural balance.

Gilded frames require gentle dusting with a soft, dry ostrich feather brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, solvents, or abrasive cleaners which can strip the delicate gold leaf. The mirror glass can be cleaned sparingly with a pH-neutral glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly.
