FAQs

Eagle motifs in mirrors gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, often symbolising strength, freedom, and patriotism, frequently associated with neoclassical and federal styles.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like walnut, mahogany, or oak, featuring intricate hand-carved relief work, joined frames, and bevelled glass plates secured with traditional backing boards.

Authentication involves examining the tool marks for hand-carving consistency, checking for age-related oxidation and foxing on the mirror plate, and inspecting the timber for natural shrinkage and patina consistent with historical periods.

An antique mirror serves as a strong focal point when mounted above a mantelpiece or paired against minimalist contemporary walls to create a striking contrast between old and new textures.

Preservation requires keeping the piece out of direct sunlight, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners on the timber, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and ensuring stable humidity levels to prevent wood cracking.
