FAQs

William Kent style mirrors from the early 18th century are characterised by heavy architectural proportions, Palladian influences, and elaborate giltwood carvings often featuring eagles, scrolls, and acanthus leaves.

These pieces typically feature a secondary wood such as pine or oak, veneered with finely figured walnut, and adorned with water-gilded gesso carvings. The mirror plates are often hand-bevelled and held in place by traditional wooden backs.

Authentication involves examining the construction of the wooden frame, the composition of the gesso, the ageing and oxidisation of the mercury or silvered mirror plate, and hand-cut joinery consistent with the period.

A large antique pier glass can be mounted above a console table or mantelpiece to create a striking focal point, reflecting natural light and adding historical contrast to contemporary architectural spaces.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature levels to prevent wood movement and gesso cracking. Cleaning should be limited to gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners and abrasives.
