The mirror has its original gilded finish in very nice order with elongated Corinthian column pilasters to the sides which have nice scroll and acanthus detail. The upper glass frieze has an elegant reverse painted Verre Eglomise panel with Regency floral swags.

The mirror plate is the original mercury glass which is in good useable condition with the usual historic marks and spotting that occur due to normal ageing. (Best observed in the first photo)

FAQs

A Regency pier glass is a tall, narrow mirror designed during the early nineteenth century to fit on the wall space, or pier, between windows. These pieces often feature neoclassical architectural details such as fluted columns, classical capitals, and decorative verre eglomise glass panels.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved timber frameworks coated in gesso and finished with gold leaf gilding. Decorative panels frequently used the verre eglomise technique, where leaf gold or silver is applied to the reverse side of glass and etched with intricate designs.

Authentic period mirrors display signs of hand-craftsmanship, including hand-carved wood jointing and hand-applied gilding. The mirror glass usually shows age-related foxing or oxidisation, while the verre eglomise panels feature hand-drawn classical motifs rather than printed patterns.

A pier mirror functions effectively when placed above a hall console table, dining room sideboard, or fireplace mantelpiece. Its vertical proportions create height, whilst the gilded finish introduces warm metallic contrast within contemporary or traditional schemes.

Dust the frame and verre eglomise panel gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or dry microfibre cloth. Avoid liquid cleaners, water, or commercial glass sprays near the gilded frame or reverse-painted glass to prevent moisture damage and peeling.
