This large Henri II wall mirror dates from 1890 and is executed in scrubbed oak with a natural timber finish and glass. The construction employs a cushion frame with an openwork surround, enriched by intricate acanthus leaf relief carving. The piece includes original mirror plates featuring a bevelled central glass. Visual inspection reveals an off-square alignment between the middle frame and the outer frame, as well as a replaced backboard, indicating authentic period character. Measuring 134 cm in height and 113 cm in width, the mirror is substantial enough to make a striking visual impact in a domestic interior. Placed above a sideboard in a dining room or living space, it functions as an impressive focal point that reflects light and adds architectural presence to the room.

FAQs

Originating in 19th-century France, Henri II style mirrors draw inspiration from Renaissance architecture, featuring elaborate relief carvings, acanthus leaf motifs, and structured geometric proportions. A cushion mirror incorporates a raised central frame bordered by angled reflective plates or detailed timber mouldings.

These mirrors are constructed from solid oak timber with hand-carved openwork sections and moulded frames. The central mirror plate is housed within an elevated cushion profile, backed with solid wood panels for structural stability.

Authentic pieces feature hand-chiselled wood carvings showing subtle variations, original timber backing boards, and period joinery. The mirror glass may display light oxidisation or foxing consistent with historic silvering techniques.

Position the mirror above a modern console table or fireplace mantelpiece to create a focal point that bridges historic craftsmanship with clean-lined minimalism. The stripped scrubbed oak finish pairs effectively with neutral plaster walls and natural linen textiles.

Dust the carved timber regularly with a soft dry brush to prevent accumulation in detailed recesses. Clean the glass plate using a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water, ensuring liquids do not contact the unsealed oak frame to prevent water marks.
