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

A pier mirror was originally designed to hang on the wall space between two windows, known as a pier, in 18th and 19th-century homes. Its primary architectural purpose was to reflect incoming daylight back into the room and create an impression of symmetry and space.

Frames were typically constructed from carved pine or lime wood, coated with layers of gesso plaster. Intricate decorative details were added using molded composition, after which thin sheets of gold leaf were applied over a clay bole base using water gilding techniques.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut wooden backboards with visible age, mercury-silvered glass displaying gentle speckling or foxing, and natural wear where the underlying clay bole or wood shows through thin areas of the gilding.

Place the mirror above a console table in an entryway, mount it over a living room fireplace, or position it at the end of a corridor. The classical structure provides visual height while balancing modern, minimalist, or traditional furnishings.

Avoid using water or liquid chemicals directly on gilded surfaces, as moisture dissolves the gesso underlayer. Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, and clean glass sparingly with a dampened cloth.
