This 1910 Art Deco mirror plateau is fashioned from glass with a silver finish. The circular piece has a bevelled rim and a pattern of cut starbursts, floral wheel motifs, and polished dots arranged around the perimeter, alongside a central starburst engraving. The mirror measures 28 cm high, 28 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this unhung plate serves as a table centrepiece for a dining table or sideboard, providing a decorative base for candles, ornaments, or glassware. The reflective surface and traditional cut glass details suit dining rooms and living spaces styled with period character.

FAQs

A mirror plateau is a flat or slightly raised mirrored tray designed to sit in the centre of a dining table or sideboard. Originating in the eighteenth century and popularised through the Art Deco era, its primary purpose was to reflect ambient candlelight, highlight floral arrangements, and protect wooden surfaces from drips.

Traditional mirror plateaus were constructed using silvered or mercury-backed plate glass, often detailed with hand-cut or acid-etched motifs. The rims were frequently hand-bevelled or framed in gilt bronze, silver-plate, or polished nickel.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit minor desilvered spots, slight edge wear, and subtle irregularity in the hand-cut or acid-etched detailing. Older examples typically feature heavier lead glass with sharp cut bevels rather than smooth, machine-moulded modern glass.

In contemporary settings, a mirror plateau functions as an elegant base for grouping pillar candles, crystal glassware, or perfume bottles on a vanity or coffee table. It creates depth and bounces light around the space without adding visual clutter.

Clean the top surface gently using a lint-free microfibre cloth dampened with distilled water or a mild glass cleaner. Avoid submerging the piece in water or allowing liquids to seep under the bevelled edge, as moisture can break down the rear silvering over time.
