This Edwardian pier mirror follows a George II style with a fret-cut mahogany frame, measuring 116 cm high and 50 cm wide. The timber displays a warm brown finish complemented by parcel gilding in gold. A scroll cresting crowns the top, finished with rosette carvings, while a gilt slip borders the split mirror plate. The upper glass section features reverse-cut botanical motifs alongside a bevelled edge, accompanied by a small flake to the reverse of the plate. Suitable for hanging on a narrow wall space in an English country house interior, this wall mirror suits a hallway, living room, or bedroom. Its vertical profile allows placement in tight architectural spaces where additional light and reflection are desired.

FAQs

A parcel gilt pier mirror is a tall, narrow wall mirror featuring selective gold leaf gilding on carved wooden details, historically designed to hang on the wall section between windows.

These mirrors are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, featuring applied leaf gilding on relief mouldings and silvered glass plates.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved joinery on the reverse, subtle irregularities in the gilded areas, and glass displaying minor oxidisation or soft grey spots.

Positioning a vertical pier mirror in a narrow hallway or above a console table enhances natural light reflection while adding architectural depth to modern spaces.

Clean the glass panel with a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid cleaners near gilded sections, and gently dust the carved wood using a soft natural brush.
