FAQs

Dressing table mirrors became widely popular during the 18th and 19th centuries as bedrooms evolved into private dressing spaces, with brass frames offering durability and a polished aesthetic.

Authentic period pieces typically feature cast or sheet brass frames, often incorporating hinged side panels, bevelled glass plates, and supportive rear stands or weighted feet.

Authentication involves examining the fixings, screw types, glass characteristics such as foxing or hand-bevelling, and the natural patina and wear on the brass surface.

Place the mirror on a wooden chest of drawers or a modern dressing console to introduce reflective light, metallic warmth, and a focal point that bridges traditional and contemporary design.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the brass to preserve the natural patina. Clean the mirror glass using a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than directly on the surface.
