FAQs

Popularised during the early 19th century Regency period in Britain, convex mirrors feature curved glass housed in round gilded frames, often decorated with spherules and ebonised interior slips to reflect light across a room.

Traditional Regency convex mirrors are constructed using carved wood coated in plaster gesso and gold leaf water gilding, featuring a curved convex glass plate set within a dark ebonised reeded inner moulding.

Authentic Regency pieces typically show signs of age on the gesso and gilding, minor silvering degradation or oxidisation on the glass plate, and hand-worked joinery on the reverse timber backing.

Position the mirror centrally above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table to create an immediate focal point that reflects light and architectural details, blending historic character with contemporary decor.

Dust the gilded frame lightly with a soft, dry brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid applying liquid polish or water, which can dissolve water gilding and damage the underlying gesso layer.
