FAQs

A pier mirror was originally designed during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to be mounted on the wall space, or pier, between two windows. Their primary function was to bounce natural light deeper into grand reception rooms while providing decorative balance to symmetric window arrangements.

Traditional pier mirrors were constructed using a wooden core frame overlaid with gesso, a smooth plaster mixture. Decorative elements were carved or moulded, followed by the application of thin gold leaf through water or oil gilding, housing a reflective glass panel and often an inset painted oil canvas.

Authentic period pieces display signs of hand-carved wood beneath the gesso layer, subtle wear to the gold leaf showing red or gray bole underneath, original timber backboards, and natural oxidisation or dark spots on the silvering of the original glass panel.

Pier mirrors are frequently positioned in narrow hallways, between pairs of floor-to-ceiling windows, or positioned directly above a console table or mantelpiece to introduce visual height and depth to smaller modern architectural footprints.

Giltwood frames must be dusted gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber feather duster. Moisture, liquid cleaners, and commercial polishes should never be applied directly to gilded gesso, as water can dissolve the traditional glue binder and lift the gold leaf.
