This Regency hand mirror is a double-sided piece made from dark brown timber with an original dry finish. The object displays a circular frame enclosing mirror plates, a baluster stem handle with turned decorative rings, and an original hanging loop at the base. Both glass plates show foxing, with visible spots and age wear across the reflective surfaces. The wood exhibits a dark brown coloration with distinct turned mouldings on the handle. Measuring 22.2 cm high and 12 cm wide, the mirror functions well on a bathroom counter or dressing table today, providing a practical accessory for daily grooming routines while adding period character to an interior.

FAQs

Produced during the early 19th century, Regency hand mirrors are defined by clean Neoclassical lines, symmetrical circular forms, and finely turned timber frames and handles.

Craftspeople typically used dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or fruitwood for the frame, paired with glass mirror plates created using early silvering techniques.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle hand-turned inconsistencies, smooth handle patina from handling, and natural foxing or oxidisation on the original reflective mirror plate.

Position the mirror flat on a vanity tray or lean it on a bathroom counter or bedside table alongside glass bottles and ceramic pots to add historical texture.

Dust the wood frame regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, ensuring moisture and harsh chemicals do not contact the mirror backing.
