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 marginal mirror, frequently termed a cushion mirror, features a central reflective glass pane enclosed by secondary mirrored border panels. Originating in seventeenth-century Europe, particularly in Dutch and French workshops, this design incorporated repousse metalwork or carved frames to maximize reflective surface area when mirror glass production was limited in size.

These mirrors typically consist of thin sheets of brass worked from the reverse using repousse techniques to create raised floral and foliate motifs. The brass shell is mounted onto a solid pine or oak timber backing structure, securing both the central glass plate and the surrounding bevelled border segments.

Authentic period examples display subtle hand-hammered irregularities on the embossed brass work, hand-cut bevels on the glass border segments, and historical oxidation or foxing on the silvering. The wooden backing boards often show hand-sawn tool marks, secured with early copper rivets or iron tacks.

A brass marginal mirror serves as a focal point when placed above a fireplace mantel, hallway console table, or sideboard. The reflective border panels cast varied angles of light, creating depth and adding warm metallic texture to modern neutral palettes.

Dust the brass frame gently with a dry, soft-bristle brush to clean recessed relief areas. Avoid chemical brass polishes or abrasive cleansers that strip natural age patina. Clean the mirror glass using a soft microfibre cloth lightly dampened with distilled water, avoiding contact between liquids and the metal frame.
