FAQs

A tailors mirror is a tall full-length mirror originally designed for commercial drapery shops and haberdashers during the early to mid-twentieth century. These pieces were crafted with long vertical glass surfaces to allow patrons to view entire garments in a single frame.

Mirrors from this era typically feature wooden backing frames finished with oil or water gilding using thin gold leaf over a plaster or gesso base. The mirror plate is composed of heavy sheet glass backed with a reflective silvering compound.

Authentic examples demonstrate natural age characteristics, such as subtle distress or light foxing on the glass silvering and minor wear to the gilt frame edges revealing the underlying gesso. They often retain simple rectangular profiles and minimal mouldings suited for commercial utility.

Position the mirror leaning against a bedroom or hallway wall to reflect light and create a sense of depth within the room. Combining the slender gilded frame with modern architecture provides a structured visual contrast.

Dust the wooden gilded frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners which can dissolve gesso and gold leaf. Clean the mirror glass by applying glass cleaner directly to a cloth rather than spraying the glass to prevent moisture from seeping into the frame rebate.
