FAQs

Conservation requires dusting the frame with a dry, soft cloth and cleaning the glass gently with a microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays that might damage historical silvering or patinated wood.

These mirrors function effectively as focal points in smaller spaces or alongside gallery walls, where their unique distortion adds depth and historical interest to modern vignettes.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the characteristics of the glass, which often exhibits minor imperfections, waves, and hand-silvering oxidation, alongside traditional joinery and aged patination on the wooden frame.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-turned wooden frames, often crafted from timber such as mahogany or walnut, housing hand-blown curved glass silvered on the reverse.

Convex mirrors, often termed bankers or witch mirrors, gained popularity in medieval and Renaissance Europe as a tool for security and surveillance in shops and homes due to their wide field of vision.
