FAQs

Venetian mirrors originated on the island of Murano during the Renaissance, where master glassmakers developed advanced techniques for silvering and etching complex floral and geometric motifs onto clear glass panels.

Authentic pieces are constructed using hand-blown sheet glass mounted on a wooden backing, featuring reverse-engraved or wheel-etched designs decorated with applied glass elements and secured with decorative rosettes.

Authenticity is identified by examining the glass for minute imperfections, hand-cut facets, oxidised mercury backing, and the use of hand-turned screws securing the glass panes to a timber foundation.

These mirrors act as focal points and can be hung above a mantelpiece or console table to reflect natural light, creating a balance between classical craftsmanship and contemporary minimalism.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and cleaning the glass strictly with a dry microfibre cloth to protect the delicate etched surfaces and aged backing.
