FAQs

A cushion mirror features a raised frame design where angled secondary mirror plates surround a central main glass panel, creating a padded or cushioned visual effect. Popularised in 19th-century France, these frames were frequently clad in sheet brass stamped with ornate repousse patterns and finished with prominent decorative crestings.

These mirrors were constructed using a solid wooden core, usually pine or oak, covered with thin sheets of embossed or repousse brass. The frame structure incorporates central and peripheral bevelled glass plates, secured with brass corner clasps and topped with a stamped brass crest pediment.

Authentic period examples display hand-applied brass sheet over a wooden frame, secured with small tacks or crimped edges visible from the back. The mirror glass often shows natural age spots or mercury silvering degradation, while the brass reveals uneven patination and oxidisation in recessed areas.

Position the mirror centrally above a sideboard, fireplace mantel, or console table to serve as a focal point. The metallic finish adds warmth and depth when contrasted against contemporary minimalist walls or rich paint schemes.

Dust the brass frame gently with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush to clean intricate detailing. Avoid harsh abrasive polishes or chemical cleaners that can strip the original patina or seep behind the glass panels.
