This Regency style wall mirror dates from the 1920 period. The round frame is constructed from mahogany with a warm brown colour and grain pattern, trimmed with a brass outer rim and a beaded brass slip rim around the convex glass plate. Six decorative brass star mounts are positioned around the wooden border, and a circular brass suspension ring is attached to the top for hanging. The piece incorporates clear glass with a reflective convex surface. The physical dimensions measure 45 cm high, 45 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. Position this wall mirror above the mantel in a living room, hallway, or study to introduce a traditional decorative focal point. The round profile and reflective surface suit placement on a central wall where it can cast light and create an impression of space in the interior.

FAQs

A convex mirror, often referred to as a bullseye or fisheye mirror, features curved glass bulging outwards to reflect a wide-angle perspective. These mirrors became popular in late 18th-century and Regency-era interiors across Europe, served both as decorative accent pieces and as practical mirrors allowing servants to observe a room discreetly.

Traditional Regency convex mirrors were constructed using turned mahogany or carved gilded timber frames, complemented by cast brass beaded slips, metal mounts, and hand-blown curved glass plates. The reflective glass backing was historically applied using a mercury or silvering process.

Authentic period examples often display hand-turned timber detailing, minor irregularities in the curved glass plate, and natural oxidisation on brass components. Reproduction pieces frequently feature lightweight modern composite woods, uniform machine-stamped metal fittings, and modern clear mirror glass.

A convex mirror works effectively as a central accent above a fireplace mantelpiece, over a hallway console table, or incorporated into a gallery wall display. The curved glass reflects natural light while the warm wood tones add balance and depth to modern neutral colour schemes.

Maintain timber and metal surfaces by dusting regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive chemical polishes that can degrade historical patinas. Clean the glass plate by applying a small amount of glass cleaner directly to a cloth rather than spraying the frame.
