FAQs

A Georgian convex mirror is a circular wall mirror originating in the late 18th to early 19th century, featuring curved glass that provides a panoramic view of a room. These mirrors were traditionally framed in gilded wood and adorned with ornate classical carving, including eagles and ball spherules.

Authentic period examples were crafted using hand-carved timber coated in gesso and finished with water gilding using real gold leaf. The inner frame often incorporates a dark reeded ebony or painted slip to contrast with the gilded circular frame.

Look for signs of genuine age on the mirror plate, such as gentle foxing, grey spotting, or light oxidisation. The reverse side typically features hand-sawn wooden backboards, and the water gilding often shows subtle wear where the red or grey clay bole under layer shows through.

A convex mirror works as a focal point when hung above a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or in a hallway foyer. Its curved glass catches natural light and reflects the surrounding room, making smaller spaces feel larger and adding historical architectural interest.

Dust the carved frame regularly using a very soft, dry brush to avoid lifting delicate gold leaf. Never use water, liquid solvents, or spray cleaners on gilded gesso, and clean the glass plate separately with a dry or lightly dampened microfiber cloth.
