Description

We have been fortunate to get hold of some truly stunning 19th century Italian frames that we have added nice quality mirror plate too. These make incredible features on any wall in a great number of interiors. The design is arguably quite contemporary which is why I love this particular design of frame. The moulding is incredibly fine and when I spoke to my restorer about these he informed me just how hard it is to make this moulding so it really is a testament to the crafts people of the time that created these.

This example is a smaller sized mirror but with a high quality deep frame. Nice details and clean condition. Ideal for use in a bathroom over a vanity.

66cm By 43cm Depth 7cm

Can be hung either portrait or landscape.

Date of Manufacture

TallBoy Interiors has dated this Ebonised Wall Mirror to the 19th Century.

Ebonised finishing involves treating timber, typically fruitwood or softwoods, with chemical stains or dark paint to simulate expensive ebony wood, a technique that gained immense popularity during the Victorian era and 19th century for its stark, dramatic contrast.

These frames were typically constructed using native hardwoods or softwoods treated with black finishes, featuring hand-carved or molded details, and fitted with early silvered or mercury-backed glass plates secured with traditional wooden backing boards.

Authentication involves examining the mirror plate for oxidation, foxing, and hand-bevelling inconsistencies, inspecting the construction joints for period-appropriate joinery, and checking the timber and ebonisation layer for natural wear and patina consistent with age.

An ebonised mirror serves as a striking focal point when hung against neutral or softly textured walls, providing a grounding, graphic element that bridges both contemporary minimalism and traditional eclectic spaces.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight to prevent further degradation of the silvering, keeping the piece away from excessive humidity, and cleaning the glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding harsh chemical solvents on the historic frame.
