FAQs

Historically, convex and figural mirrors were often associated with folklore and domestic superstition, designed in folk traditions to ward off negative spirits and protect the home.

Authentic items are typically hand-carved from dense local timbers such as oak or elm, featuring mortise and tenon joinery or integrated wooden frames securing a hand-silvered glass plate.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the tool marks, timber oxidisation, shrinkage cracks, and the age of the mirror plate, which often exhibits foxing and bevel edges consistent with period manufacturing methods.

This piece works effectively as a focal point on a neutral wall or gallery space, contrasting cleanly against minimalist plaster or contemporary surfaces to highlight its tactile craftsmanship.

Maintain the piece by dusting with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical polishes on the timber, and keeping the mirror plate away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
