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 during the British Regency era in the early 19th century, convex mirrors featured curved glass designed to reflect an entire rooms light and depth from a single wall point. These pieces typically showcase carved giltwood frames combined with ebonised inner reeded slips.

Traditional Regency convex mirrors combine carved timber frames finished with gold leaf gilding over a gesso base, alongside turned ebonised wooden slips and convex silvered or mercury glass plates.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved joinery on the timber reverse, natural foxing or oxidisation across the original glass plate, and layered gilding displaying subtle wear down to the red or grey bole beneath.

A Regency convex mirror functions effectively as a architectural focal point when positioned above a mantelpiece or sideboard. Its curved reflective glass and gilded frame provide light projection and tactile contrast against modern paint finishes.

Dust the gilded timber frame using a dry, soft-bristled brush to prevent surface flaking. Clean the glass plate using a soft cloth barely dampened with water, avoiding chemical sprays or moisture accumulation near the ebonised slip.
