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

First produced in Northern Europe during the Renaissance, convex mirrors gained widespread popularity in late 18th and 19th-century Britain. Their outward-curving glass provided a wide view of an entire room, allowing servants to monitor entertaining spaces discreetly or providing security in dining rooms.

These mirrors were typically crafted from carved timber or molded composition over wood, finished with water or oil gilding using gold leaf. The inner frame frequently featured a reeded ebonised slip, designed to accent the glass and hold the curved mirror pane securely in position.

Authentic period examples feature timber backing boards, curved hand-blown or early cast glass with minor surface variations, and original gilding showing natural oxidisation or wear revealing the bole beneath. Later reproductions often display uniform plaster mouldings, lightweight modern backing, and synthetic finishes.

Position the mirror above a mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table to catch natural light and create a focal point. Its spherical frame and curved reflection complement both contemporary minimalist schemes and traditional period decorative settings.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid lifting delicate gold leaf. Avoid liquid glass cleaners or damp cloths on the gilded surface, as moisture can dissolve historic binders and cause permanent deterioration.
