FAQs

Convex mirrors gained wide popularity during the late 18th and early 19th centuries throughout the Georgian and Regency eras. Designed with curved glass, they were positioned in dining rooms and entryways to allow servants to monitor a room discreetly without turning around.

Authentic period examples feature carved wood or plaster frames treated with gesso and gold leaf gilding. The inner slip surrounding the convex glass lens typically consists of ebonised, reeded timber moulding.

Look for genuine signs of age on the reverse, such as original pine backing boards, hand-forged fixings, and naturally occurring oxidisation or foxing on the silvered convex mirror glass.

Position the mirror above a mantelpiece, console table, or in a narrow hallway to maximise light dispersion. The curved glass creates a dynamic wide-angle view, making smaller spaces feel larger.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry feather duster or dry brush to avoid lifting the gold leaf. Clean the mirror glass using a lightly dampened microfibre cloth, ensuring moisture does not contact the giltwood or gesso edge.
