The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Regency convex mirror is a circular wall mirror originating from the early 19th century, featuring a curved glass lens that reflects a wide field of view, typically set within a gilded frame with decorative crestings and ebonised slips.

These mirrors were constructed using carved wood or papier-mache finished with water gilding using fine gold leaf, incorporating hand-blown convex mirror glass, ebonised interior reeded slips, and metal candle branches.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-carved wood backing, original mercury or early silvered glass showing minor foxing, natural wear or craquelure to the water gilding, and hand-forged metal fixings.

Position the mirror above a chimneypiece or console table to act as a focal point, pairing its gold gilded frame against neutral or dark wall paint to contrast period architectural details with contemporary furnishings.

Clean the glass using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water or liquids that could seep into the frame, and gently dust the fragile gilded wood using a soft camel-hair brush without applying pressure.
