S and S Timms Antiques Ltd has dated this Regency Giltwood Convex Mirror to the 19th Century.
A very attractive and good example of the sterotypical regency period convex mirror. It is full of class and elegance and would be a real feature in any room of any property.
Overall it remains in good condition and the gilding has aged nicely, taking on an attractive gold lustre over time. One would imagine that the mirror has hung in one place for a large part of its life as there are very few repairs, or significantly damaged areas to speak of.
There are of course various old marks, scuffs, scrapes and rubbed areas, all of which are commensurate with age and add to the overall character of the piece without detracting from it aesthetically in the slightest. We also believe that the mirror plate itself is probably original.
The original purpose of convex mirrors was to reflect and spread the light source into as many parts of a room as possible and this is turn can often make a room feel significantly bigger.
