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

Chippendale style mirrors inspired by the 18th century typically feature scrolled fretwork frames, architectural pediments, and carved decorative motifs such as Ho Ho birds, shells, and acanthus leaves.

These mirrors are traditionally constructed using solid mahogany or walnut, featuring parcel-gilded highlights, inlaid marquetry, and mirrored glass plates.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut fretwork, original mirror glass showing oxidation, backboards secured with hand-forged nails, and hand-carved gilded details.

A pair of pier mirrors can be hung symmetrically on either side of a doorway, flanking a fireplace, or positioned above matching side tables to create balance and reflect light.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying moisture or chemical polish to gilded elements, and clean the glass with a cloth lightly dampened with specialist cleaner.
