FAQs

The Regency style, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1830, is characterised by classical symmetry, heavily influenced by ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian architecture, often featuring dark woods like mahogany, brass mounts, and reeded columns.

Authentic period pieces were typically crafted from dense cabinet timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, or satinwood, incorporating mercury or early silvered glass plates, brass pivot hardware, and supportive castors.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the timber grain, hand-cut joinery, original backboards, cast brass hardware, and the presence of slight imperfections or oxidation within the glass plate.

Positioning a wooden standing mirror against a neutral backdrop in a bedroom or dressing room introduces verticality, warmth, and reflective light, bridging historical craftsmanship with modern minimalism.

Maintain the timber using microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain, avoid harsh chemical sprays on the wood and glass, and keep the piece away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations to prevent veneer cracking.
