FAQs

Originating in the early 19th century, a Regency verre eglomise mirror features a gilded timber frame, often flanked by pilasters or fluted columns, topped with a reverse-painted glass panel. The technique involves applying gold leaf and hand-painted designs directly onto the reverse side of a glass panel.

These mirrors typically feature carved pine or lime wood frames covered in gesso and gold leaf, incorporating decorative elements such as ball mouldings and Corinthian capitals. The upper frieze employs verre eglomise, a reverse-glass gilding and painting technique, while the lower reflective plate is silvered.

Authentic Regency mirrors display hand-carved wood joinery, original gesso surface craquelure, and wear to the gilded finish where the underlying red or yellow clay bole shows through. Genuine verre eglomise panels show age-related flaking, while period mirror plates often show oxidation or foxing.

Position the mirror above a console table or fireplace mantelpiece to serve as a architectural accent. The warm gold leaf tone creates visual structure alongside contemporary neutral colour schemes and traditional plasterwork.

Dust the gilded frame with a dry, soft brush, avoiding liquids or chemical cleaners that can strip water gilding. Clean the glass plate with a damp microfibre cloth, ensuring moisture does not touch the gilding or penetrate the reverse-painted top panel.
