FAQs

Convex mirrors, often historically termed bankers or witchs mirrors, date back to the medieval period and gained significant popularity during the Victorian era. They were originally used in mercantile settings to monitor shops or in homes to ward off negative spirits and provide a wide-angle reflection of the room.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-turned wooden frames, frequently crafted from mahogany, walnut, or oak, housing blown convex glass plates. The inner bezel is often adorned with applied wooden or plaster spheres, known as ebonised or gilt balls.

Authentication relies on examining the glass for minor distortions, air bubbles, and hand-silvering imperfections consistent with historical manufacturing techniques. Additionally, the timber frame should exhibit appropriate patina, age-related shrinkage, and traditional joinery methods.

A convex mirror works effectively as a focal point in a hallway, above a fireplace, or incorporated into a gallery wall. Its curved reflective surface creates a unique fish-eye perspective that bounces natural light around the space while adding architectural interest.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity to protect the wooden frame and the delicate silvering behind the glass. Cleaning should be done sparingly with a dry or barely damp microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical glass cleaners entirely.
