Description

A Very Large Scale 19th Century English Regency Convex Mirror.

This splendid mirror is of the convex style which became so popular in England during the regency period but is distinguished by its very large size and some interesting decorative detailing. It features an ebonised slip around the convex plate and then a small section of very fine leaf carving amongst decorative mouldings. After a large protruding moulding, there is a concave section with applied cannon ball detailing and then, around the edge of the piece, several raised mouldings which are tied together with ribbon details.

A mirror of this impressive size must have been made for an important house and client and is a rare survivor today.

Date of Manufacture

Lee Wright Antiques & Interiors Ltd has dated this Regency Convex Mirror to the 19th Century.

FAQs

Regency convex mirrors, often called butlers mirrors or bullseye mirrors, gained popularity during the early 19th century in Britain. Their wide-angle reflection allowed servants to monitor multiple areas of a room simultaneously, making them both functional and decorative.

These mirrors are typically constructed with a carved wood or gesso frame finished with gold leaf. The glass is specifically blown as a convex sphere to create the characteristic curved reflection, usually set within a reeded ebonised slip.

Authentic 19th-century pieces often display signs of age such as foxing and minor oxidisation on the original glass plate, hand-carved wooden construction beneath the gesso, and traditional shrinkage cracks in the surface finish.

A convex mirror works effectively as a focal point above a mantelpiece or on a dark-painted feature wall, reflecting light and expanding the visual depth of the space while contrasting against contemporary furnishings.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using chemical cleaning agents or water on the fragile gilt surface. Keep the mirror away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent damage to the gold leaf and wood.
