Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Popularised in Britain during the early 19th century, a Regency convex mirror features an outward-curving circular glass plate set inside a gilded wooden frame, frequently decorated with mythological figures, foliage, or aquatic cresting.

These mirrors were crafted using carved wood coated in gesso and finished with gold leaf gilding, incorporating an ebonised reeded inner slip and a hand-moulded convex glass plate.

Authentic Regency examples demonstrate water-gilding over a red or yellow clay bole, minor surface oxidisation on the mirror plate, and hand-cut timber backings with visible period joinery.

Position the mirror above a mantelpiece or console table to create a focal point, allowing its convex glass to catch ambient light and reflect the room in miniature.

Dust the gilded surfaces gently using a dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding water or chemical sprays that dissolve gesso, and wipe the glass carefully with a lint-free cloth.
