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

French Empire style mirrors are characterised by strong neoclassical architectural influence, symmetrical proportions, rich flame mahogany or gilded finishes, and ornamental motifs such as pediment tops, carved rosettes, and beaded moldings.

Empire wall mirrors were primarily constructed using solid timber frames faced with flame mahogany or walnut veneers, carved wooden details, and mercury or silvered mirror glass, often constructed in two separate panes for larger pieces.

Authentic pieces generally display original hand-cut backing boards, evidence of natural timber contraction, split mirror glass plates, and subtle oxidisation marks on the reflective coating.

Position the mirror above a modern minimalist sideboard or console table to create a balanced contrast between historic flame mahogany grain and contemporary clean lines.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply clear beeswax polish sparingly to protect the timber veneer, taking care to avoid getting glass cleaner on the wooden borders.
