This Georgian wall mirror originates from the 18th century and is constructed from walnut with a glass plate and a giltwood inner slip. The warm brown timber displays a rich grain pattern throughout the upright frame, topped with scrolled fretwork cresting and matching scrolled apron below. The rectangular glass features rounded upper corners and a bevelled edge, set within a narrow gilded inner moulding frame. Measuring 110 cm high and 54 cm wide, the mirror is designed to hang vertically on a wall. It suits placement above a sideboard in a dining room, living area, or hallway within an English country house interior.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century walnut wall mirrors often feature shaped fretwork crests, molded borders, and decorative gilded inner slips characteristic of the Queen Anne and Early Georgian periods.

Frames were typically constructed using solid or veneered walnut, frequently paired with pine backing boards, water-gilded lime wood slips, and mercury-amalgamated glass plates.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut joinery, pine backboards showing hand-sawn timber marks, natural hand-carved asymmetry, and genuine age-related oxidisation or foxing on the glass plate.

Position the mirror above a console table in a hallway, above a mantelpiece, or within a gallery wall to introduce warm timber tones and reflective light into contemporary spaces.

Dust the wood frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply beeswax sparingly along the grain, and clean the glass with a slightly damp cloth while avoiding contact with the gilded slip or wood frame.
