The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mirrors from this era frequently feature a dark ebonised wooden structure contrasted with gold leaf or plaster mouldings. Designed to sit above a fireplace mantle, they combine classical features such as rosettes, palmettes, and egg-and-dart borders typical of late Victorian and Edwardian taste.

These frames were typically constructed from softwoods or hardwoods coated with a dark stain or black lacquer to imitate ebony. Decorative details were formed using molded composition (compo) applied to the wood base and finished with gold leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces generally show age-appropriate wear such as micro-crazing in the lacquer, slight tarnishing or oxidation on the gilding, and original backing boards secured with old nails. The mirror glass may also display slight foxing or minor silvering degradation.

A dark framed mirror creates a focal point above a fireplace or console table in both modern and traditional rooms. The combination of black timber and gold highlights balances warm and cool interior colour schemes.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth or soft brush to avoid damaging the delicate gilt surface. Avoid moisture and liquid cleaners on the gilded or ebonised frame, applying glass cleaner strictly directly to a cloth rather than the glass directly.
