FAQs

Originating in the 18th and 19th centuries, pier mirrors were designed to hang on the wall space, or pier, between windows to reflect light back into the room. They frequently feature architectural motifs such as classical pilasters, moulded cornices, and painted or gilded finishes.

These mirrors generally feature carved pine or soft oak frames coated with gesso and layered paint or leaf metal. Over time, original mercury or silvered glass plates develop subtle desilvering and foxing.

Authentic period pieces show genuine age-related wear, including paint flaking, craquelure, exposed timber or gesso beneath paint layers, hand-planed wooden backing boards, and natural foxing on the glass plate.

Positioning a distressed architectural mirror above a clean-lined console table or sideboard creates a contrast between historic patina and contemporary design. It can also be leaned against an accent wall to introduce verticality and light.

Avoid liquid cleaners or damp cloths on the frame, as moisture can dislodge loose paint flakes. Gently remove dust from the frame using a soft, dry brush, and clean the glass plate separately with a lightly dampened cloth while avoiding the edges.
