FAQs

Regency convex mirrors originated in the early 19th century, featuring circular moulded frames heavily decorated with spherical balls or studs. They typically combine a gilded exterior ring with a dark, ebonised inner slip to frame the outward-curving glass plate.

These mirrors are constructed using carved wooden frames coated in gesso plaster, which is then hand-applied with thin gold leaf using water or oil gilding techniques. The glass plate is blown and shaped into a convex form, while the inner slip is typically carved wood finished in an ebonised black stain.

Authentic period mirrors show signs of natural age, such as slight cracking or fine crazing in the gesso surface beneath the gilding, known as craquelure. The backboard should display aged timber with hand-cut nails or screws, and the convex glass often contains slight imperfections or distortion consistent with historical manufacturing techniques.

A convex mirror acts as a focal point when placed above a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or side cabinet. The curved glass surface reflects light from multiple directions, making it ideal for brightening darker hallways or drawing light across a contemporary living space.

Giltwood frames should be dusted regularly with a dry, extremely soft feather duster or gentle brush. Water and liquid sprays must never be applied directly to gilded surfaces, as moisture dissolves traditional gesso and washes away gold leaf.
