The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A pier mirror is a tall, narrow glass originally engineered to occupy the pier wall space between two windows. Designed during the 17th to 19th centuries, these pieces served both decorative and practical purposes by reflecting light into deep room interiors.

Early 19th-century French mirrors were typically built with hand-carved timber frameworks coated in gesso and finished with gold leaf gilding. Mirror plates from this era were made using mercury amalgams, resulting in characteristic soft reflections and subtle oxidisation over time.

Authentic period pier mirrors display telltale signs such as hand-cut pine or oak backboards, water gilding with red or grey bole visible in worn areas, and segmented or dual mirror plates caused by historical glass manufacturing size limitations.

Positioning a tall pier mirror on a narrow wall space, above a console table, or directly between two tall windows reflects natural lighting and adds visual height to contemporary spaces.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft feather duster or dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical sprays that dissolve water gilding and damage gesso. Glass plates should be cleaned by applying a lightly damp cloth directly to the glass without touching the surrounding frame edges.
