Description

Great pair of large mid 19th century English gilt and water gilded mirrors, perfect if you are looking for a pair of alcove mirrors to hang over a pair of tables etc.

The mirror glass is new, so there will be no blemish or foxing marks.

They can be hung “portrait” as shown or you can hang them “landscape” so I can have hanging chain fitted for whichever way you need.

Lovely old mellow glow to the 19th century water gilding.

Priced as a pair, any queries, don’t hesitate to ask!

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors often feature classical revival motifs, elaborate moulded frames, and gold leaf application over gesso and wood substrates.

These frames typically consist of carved or moulded timber, layered with gesso, and finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, housing silvered sheet glass.

Authenticity is assessed through the presence of hand-applied gesso, historical shrinkage cracks in the wood, foxing or oxidisation on the mirror plate, and period-appropriate framing techniques.

They can be hung symmetrically above a sideboard or fireplace to enhance light reflection and add a layer of classic contrast to modern minimalist spaces.

Keep gilt mirrors away from direct sunlight and high humidity, clean the glass with a dry or barely damp microfiber cloth, and avoid touching the delicate gilded surface.
