Some fogging to the mirror commensurate with age, but no chips.

Depth: 1.6cm

FAQs

Art Deco design emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by stylised geometric shapes, symmetry, stylised floral motifs, and a combination of modern industrial techniques with traditional craftsmanship.

Authentic period mirrors typically feature hand-carved wood or plaster frames, gilt finishes, bevelled glass plates secured with metal clips, and aged wooden backing boards held with traditional fixings.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural ageing such as foxing or oxidisation on the mirror glass plate, hand-mixed gesso or gilt wear, handmade screw fixings, and dry patination on the reverse wood.

Hang the piece above a contemporary sideboard or fireplace mantel to create a striking focal point, allowing the historical craftsmanship to contrast with minimalist modern furnishings.

Clean the mirror plate gently with a microfibre cloth and alcohol-free glass cleaner, avoiding direct spraying onto the edges to prevent moisture seeping behind the silvering layer.
