19th Century Italian Ebonised Mirror - No 3

19th century
Description

We have been fortunate to get hold of some truly stunning 19th century Italian frames that we have added high quality 6mm mirror plate too.

These mirrors make incredible features on any wall in a great number of interiors. The design is arguably quite contemporary which is why I love this particular style of frame.

The moulding is incredibly fine and when I spoke to my restorer about these he informed me just how hard it is to make this moulding so it really is a testament to the crafts people of the time that created these.

This example is a handsome addition to a wall. Deep original ebonised black finish to the frame. Smaller than most in size but still large and will work well across a huge number of interiors.

89cm by 69cm

Can be hung either portrait or landscape.

This nineteenth-century Italian wall mirror is constructed from timber with a deep ebonised black finish and fitted with six millimetre mirror glass. The rectangular frame displays fine ripple moulding, a stepped moulding profile, and a textured carved surface, demonstrating traditional decorative woodworking techniques. The deep dark timber tones create a classic aesthetic suitable for a gentleman's library or similar traditional interior scheme. Measuring 89 cm high by 69 cm wide and 4 cm deep, the piece offers a practical scale for domestic spaces. In contemporary interiors, this wall mirror functions effectively when hung either portrait or landscape. Placement above a sideboard provides a balanced arrangement within a dining room, hallway, or living area. The ebonised surface integrates readily with existing dark wood furniture and neutral wall colours while maintaining a clean silhouette. The mirror glass reflects natural or artificial light to brighten surrounding spaces, fulfilling both decorative and functional purposes in a home.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century Italian ebonised mirrors are defined by wooden frames treated to mimic natural ebony wood, often featuring dark, stained finishes alongside detailed geometric, carved, or ripple mouldings.

Craftsmen typically used close-grained hardwoods such as fruitwood, pearwood, or pine, which were stained with dark dyes, iron salts, or black lacquers to achieve a deep, ebonised surface.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate joinery, original wooden backing panels, micro-cracking in the lacquer, and subtle wear revealing the lighter natural wood beneath the dark finish.

An ebonised mirror offers strong visual contrast against neutral walls and pairs well with contemporary art, modern brass fixtures, or traditional dark wood furniture.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding commercial chemical cleaners or excess moisture that could strip the historical varnish or lacquer.
