FAQs

A convex mirror features a curved glass lens that bulges outwards, producing a wide-angle, miniature reflection of an entire room. Popularised in the late 18th and 19th centuries, these mirrors were placed in dining rooms and entryways, enabling servants to monitor guests discretely without standing directly in the room.

Late 19th-century convex mirrors were typically constructed using a timber frame structure overlaid with moulded gesso or plaster ornaments. The frames were finished with water gilding, oil gilding, or dark wood stains, surrounding a hand-blown convex glass plate silvered on the back.

Authentic period convex mirrors display signs of hand construction, including irregular glass thickness, minor silvering oxidation or dark spots, and hand-carved or timber-backed frames. Genuine pieces often show wear to the original gilded surface, revealing red or grey bole beneath the gold leaf.

An antique convex mirror can be hung in narrow spaces such as entry halls, between windows, or above a sideboard to bounce light around the room. Its geometric frame and wide reflection create a striking focal point when contrasted against modern paint schemes or minimal gallery walls.

Dust the frame regularly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical sprays that dissolve original gesso and gilding. Clean the glass plate carefully with a soft cotton cloth lightly dampened with water, taking care not to let moisture seep behind the rebate.
