This George III campaign shaving mirror dates from the eighteenth century in the Georgian style and is made from mahogany, glass and brass in a warm brown colour. The rectangular moulded frame houses an original mirror plate with a removable sliding front board and retains an upper brass suspension loop and an easel stand to the reverse. Visible details include the warm reddish-brown wood grain, the bevelled edge of the sliding wooden cover and the aged, distressed surface of the mirrored glass plate. The piece measures 23 cm high, 18 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep. Practical for hanging on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library, bedroom or dressing room, the compact footprint also allows it to stand upright on a chest of drawers or desk surface. The sliding cover protects the reflective surface when not in use, making it suitable for travel as well as everyday domestic placement.

FAQs

A Georgian campaign mirror is a portable looking glass produced during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, designed specifically for military officers on active service. These mirrors typically featured protective wooden covers, slide-on lids, or folding mechanisms to prevent damage during transport.

George III campaign mirrors were primarily constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or oak to withstand frequent travel. They often featured hand-bevelled glass plates, brass suspension rings or flush-mounted hinges, and sliding wooden panels.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate joinery, such as hand-cut dovetails or sliding groove tracks, along with natural foxing on the original mirror glass. Unfinished or timber-backed surfaces often show hand-sawn tool marks and a patina consistent with 18th-century cabinetmaking.

A campaign mirror can be displayed as part of a gallery wall or hung independently in a narrow hallway or cloakroom. Its compact scale and dark timber finish pair effectively with minimalist decor, neutral paint tones, or dark oak cabinetry.

To preserve the timber finish, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax sparingly along the grain. Avoid chemical glass cleaners on antique mirror plate, as moisture can seep into the edges and accelerate desilveration or damage the original wooden frame.
