FAQs

Nineteenth-century oval wall mirrors typically feature classical proportions, moulded wooden or composition frames, and often incorporate neoclassical or traditional decorative elements suited for domestic interiors.

Period frames were commonly constructed from timber such as pine, oak, or gesso-coated hardwoods, fitted with hand-silvered float or cylinder glass plates secured by timber backs.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-related characteristics such as foxing or oxidation on the mirror plate, hand-bevelling, original timber backing boards, and hand-cut fixings.

Positioning an antique mirror above a fireplace or console table reflects natural light and adds depth, creating a balanced focal point that bridges traditional and contemporary design aesthetics.

Clean mirror glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild, ammonia-free solution applied to the cloth rather than directly to the glass to prevent moisture seepage behind the frame.
