This Regency period convex mirror is made of wood and gesso with mirror glass and a black and gold lacquer finish. The circular frame has cross-hatched ribbon moulding at the cardinal points, gilded japanned foliage decoration, and a visible hanging ring attachment at the top connected to a chain link. The antique piece retains its original plate and back, showing appropriate signs of age and surface wear across the dark japanned finish. Measuring 40 cm high, 40 cm wide, and 6 cm deep, the mirror functions well as a decorative wall hanging in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, and is well-suited for placement above the mantel.

FAQs

A japanned convex mirror is a circular wall mirror featuring curved glass set within a frame treated with japanning, a European lacquering technique developed in the seventeenth century to imitate East Asian lacquerwork.

These mirrors were typically constructed with a timber core, finished with gesso and layers of dark resin-based varnish or lacquer, accented with gold leaf or metallic paint, and fitted with hand-blown convex glass.

Authentic Regency convex mirrors feature period-appropriate weight, natural crazing or micro-cracking in the lacquered gesso, original hanging hardware such as iron rings or chains, and minor desilveration or spotting on the mirror glass.

A convex mirror works as a focal point above a mantelpiece, within a narrow hallway, or styled above a console table where its curved glass reflects light and surrounding room architectural details.

Dust the frame lightly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or solvent polishes that can dissolve historic lacquer finishes or loosen gilding.
