FAQs

A pier mirror is a tall, narrow wall mirror originally designed to be mounted on the pier, which is the wall space between two windows. These mirrors were created to reflect light back into the room and enhance the spatial grandeur of 18th and 19th-century interiors.

19th-century gilt mirrors typically feature a carved wooden core covered with gesso, a composite substrate made of chalk and size. Gold leaf was then applied over the gesso using either water gilding or oil gilding techniques, surrounding mercury or silver-backed mirror glass.

Authentic period gilding displays natural wear, slight cracking known as craquelure, and areas where the underlying red or grey clay bole shows through the gold leaf. The back boards usually show dark age-related patination and hand-carved wood joinery rather than modern staples or ply.

A gilt pier mirror can be positioned above a modern console table or fireplace mantel to create a focal point. Placing the mirror opposite a window maximises natural light, bridging classic architectural detailing with contemporary minimalist furnishings.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaners that can dissolve water-based gilding. Glass cleaner should be applied sparingly to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the glass to prevent moisture from seeping into the wooden frame.
