FAQs

Silver frames should be gently polished with a specialised microfibre cloth and non-abrasive silver cleaner, avoiding direct contact between harsh chemicals and the glass mirror plate or any historic backing.

An antique silver mirror can be displayed flat on a tray atop a dressing table, or rested upright on a mantelpiece or bookshelf as a reflective decorative accent.

Authentic pieces are identified by hallmarks stamped onto the silver frame, indicating the makers mark, silver purity standard, and assay office, alongside natural ageing like light tarnish and microscopic surface scratches on the glass.

They are traditionally crafted from sterling silver, often featuring hand-beaten or cast frames, intricate repousse or chased decoration, and a bevelled glass mirror plate secured within the metal housing.

Antique silver hand mirrors became popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras as essential components of luxury vanity sets used for daily grooming on dressing tables.
