A convex mirror features a curved, outward-bulging glass surface that provides a wide-angle, panoramic reflection of a room. Historically, they were used in Europe from the medieval period onwards to monitor staff in large houses or to security check commercial shops.

Traditional frames are typically constructed from turned or carved hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or pine, often featuring applied wooden balls or reeded mouldings. The mirror plate is blown or slumped glass, traditionally silvered on the reverse.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-turned wooden elements with tool marks, foxing or silver degradation in the mirror plate, and older backboards secured with traditional fixings rather than modern screws.

These mirrors work effectively as focal points in hallways, above mantelpieces, or nested within gallery walls to reflect light and add architectural interest to a space.

Dust the frame gently with a dry cloth and avoid spraying cleaning fluids directly onto the glass or frame, as moisture can seep behind the silvering and cause irreversible damage.
