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

Regency period mirrors feature neoclassical architectural influences inspired by ancient Greek and Roman design. Signature characteristics include breakfront cornices, fluted pilasters, spherule ball ornamentation, and contrasting gold-gilt and ebonised finishes.

These frames were typically constructed from softwood timber coated with layers of gesso. Gold leaf was applied using water gilding techniques, while detailed figurative relief panels were crafted from moulded composition material before being painted or ebonised.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery on the timber backing, natural wear to the gilding revealing the reddish clay bole underneath, and subtle oxidation spotting on the original mirror plate.

Position the mirror directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or a dining room sideboard to create a central architectural focal point. Its metallic gilded finish and dark accents complement both contemporary neutral schemes and traditional interiors.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a dry, soft brush, avoiding water or liquid polish which can dissolve the underlying gesso and lift gold leaf. Clean the mirror glass carefully with a lightly dampened microfibre cloth, keeping moisture away from the frame edges.
