FAQs

Convex mirrors gained widespread popularity in Britain during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Designed with curved glass to bounce light around room interiors, Regency examples typically featured carved giltwood frames, ebonised slips, and decorative crestings such as eagles.

Authentic period mirrors were crafted from carved pine or lime wood, layered with gesso and gold leaf using water gilding techniques. The glass was silvered or mercury-backed, while inner slips were painted or stained black to create contrast.

Look for signs of genuine age, such as natural craquelure in the gesso, hand-carved wooden backings, and subtle oxidation on the mirror surface. Original water gilding typically shows soft wear where raised surfaces have been handled over time.

A convex mirror acts as a focal point above a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or entrance hallway console. Its curved glass distorts reflections into a panoramic view, adding depth and reflecting natural light across contemporary or period settings.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster without applying water or chemical polishes. Clean the mirror glass sparingly with a damp microfibre cloth, ensuring moisture does not touch the gilded surround or inner slip.
