17th century
For Sale by LTANTIQUES.CO.UK
Description

A fine example of late 17th-century English decorative arts, this William and Mary period mirror is crafted in richly patinated walnut, showcasing the deep, warm tones and beautifully figured grain characteristic of the finest timber of the era.

The outer edge of the frame and the glass is bordered by ebonised edging, providing a striking contrast to the walnut and lending the piece a sense of refined drama and depth.

This mirror likely retains its original or period mirror plate, with the charming signs of age including light foxing and a soft reflective surface that speaks to centuries of history. The back is panelled.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Originating in late seventeenth-century England, William and Mary cushion frame mirrors are characterised by a convex, pillow-like moulding around the frame. They frequently incorporate rich timber veneers, such as figure-walnut, accentuated by dark ebonised mouldings and borders.

These mirrors were typically constructed with a pine carcass faced in walnut or olive wood veneers, accompanied by ebonised wooden accents. The glass plates were hand-blown and silvered using mercury process techniques.

Authentic period mirrors exhibit hand-sawn veneers with slight irregularities, hand-forged hanging fixtures, original split-pine backboards, and natural foxing or oxidisation on the mercury glass plate.

Positioning a cushion mirror above a hall console, fireplace mantel, or sideboard creates architectural contrast against contemporary wall colours while reflecting ambient light into the space.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish sparingly along the grain. Avoid chemical cleaners or spraying liquids directly onto the foxed glass surface.
