We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Convex mirrors feature curved glass that bulges outward, providing a wider field of view. They gained widespread popularity during the Georgian and Regency periods in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as decorative statement pieces.

Traditional convex mirrors were typically constructed with hand-carved wood or moulded composition plaster over timber frames. The frames were finished with water gilding using gold leaf, housing hand-blown curved mirror glass.

Authentic period pieces often show natural age-related wear to the gilding, revealing red or grey bole underneath the gold leaf. The glass may exhibit slight dark spots, distressing, or unevenness, while the reverse framing usually displays aged backboards with traditional joinery.

A gilt convex mirror creates a focal point when positioned above a fireplace mantel, sideboard, or console table. Its reflective surface bounces light across the room while the curved frame introduces classical architectural structure to contemporary spaces.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that degrade gold leaf. Clean the convex glass carefully with a slightly dampened cloth, ensuring liquid does not seep into the frame edge.
