This Arts and Crafts wall mirror dates from around 1900 and is made from copper, glass and wood with a warm metallic copper colour. The rectangular frame has a hammered finish and a bevelled edge mirror plate. The left side and bottom corner feature a repousse relief decoration of a horse-drawn stagecoach with passengers, a driver, horses, and a building, while the top right corner includes a raised sun or man-in-the-moon motif. A small section of the coach driver's whip is missing. The mirror measures 51 cm high and 95 cm wide. It is suitable for hanging on a wall above a mantelpiece in an English country house interior.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts metalwork gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on handcraftsmanship in reaction to mass industrialisation. Copper mirrors from this period frequently feature hand-hammered textures, repousse relief motifs inspired by nature or history, and visible hand-formed construction.

Repousse copper frames were created by shaping thin sheet copper from the reverse side using hammers and punches to create raised relief designs. The metal was often fixed onto a solid wooden backing frame to support the mirrored glass pane.

Authentic pieces display subtle irregularities consistent with hand-hammering rather than uniform machine stamping. Look for hand-folded edges around the backing, uneven patination acquired over time, and motifs typical of the period such as stylized floral patterns, marine themes, or historic scenes.

A repousse copper mirror adds warm metallic tones and visual texture when positioned above a fireplace mantel, side table, or hallway console. It pairs well with natural wood furniture, exposed brickwork, and warm neutral colour palettes.

Dust the copper frame gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, chemical polishes, or moisture, which can strip away original aged patina or damage the wooden backing and silvered glass.
