FAQs

Early 18th-century walnut mirrors are characterised by simple, architectural mouldings, veneered timber construction, and restrained decorative elements typical of the Queen Anne and early Georgian periods.

These pieces typically feature figured walnut veneers applied to a secondary softwood or oak carcase, often housing original low-distortion glass plates with bevelled edges.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the timber grain, hand-cut joinery, old pine backing boards, oxidisation on the mirror plate, and traditional finishing methods such as shellac polish.

Positioning the mirror above a contemporary console or pairing it with minimalist decor allows the rich wood tones and historic craftsmanship to serve as a focal point.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to protect the wood and foil backing, and cleaning the glass gently with a soft cloth without harsh chemicals.
