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

A cushion mirror, also known as a marginal or border glass mirror, features a main central mirror plate surrounded by secondary glass border panels set within a carved gilded frame, a style popularised in seventeenth to nineteenth century European decorative arts.

Traditional frames were hand-carved from timber or built up with plaster gesso moulding, coated with a clay base called bole, and layered with delicate leaf gilding before being burnished to create a deep metallic sheen.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cut joinery on wooden backings, slight oxidisation or foxing on silvered glass plates, and visible reddish bole clay showing through areas where the gilding has worn naturally over time.

Position the mirror above a contemporary fireplace mantel or lean it against a neutral focal wall above a streamlined console table to create visual contrast between period detail and modern architecture.

Dust the ornate frame lightly using a soft dry brush or clean microfibre cloth, ensuring no liquid cleaning agents or water contact the gilded surface to avoid dissolving the underlying gesso.
