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

Popularised during the early 19th century Regency era, a convex mirror features a curved glass plate designed to reflect an entire room from a single viewpoint. These mirrors typically display gilded frames, ebonised slips, and spherical ball embellishments around the perimeter.

Traditional construction incorporates carved wood and gesso finished with water gilding using gold leaf. The inner frame usually features an ebonised wooden slip surrounding hand-blown curved glass.

Authentic period examples often feature original pine backing boards, slight oxidation or foxing on the silvering of the curved glass, and visible wear or reddish bole showing through the gilded gesso surface.

A convex mirror works effectively as a focal point positioned above a fireplace mantel piece, a hall console table, or a dining room sideboard. Its reflective geometry captures natural light and adds dimensional interest to symmetrical architectural arrangements.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry feather duster or camel-hair brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners which dissolve gold leaf and gesso. Clean the convex glass plate using a microfibre cloth lightly dampened with water, ensuring liquid does not seep into the ebonised inner slip.
