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

Chippendale wall mirrors from the 18th century are recognized for their fretwork silhouette frames, elaborate scrollwork aprons, and central carved crestings, often featuring gilded motifs such as a phoenix or ho-ho bird alongside a gilded inner slip framing the mirror plate.

These mirrors were constructed using solid or veneered mahogany over pine or oak backings, with hand-carved lime wood or pine decorative cartouches coated in water gilding, alongside hand-cut mercury-backed glass plates.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-sawn secondary timber on the reverse backboards, irregular bevels or subtle grey spots on historical mirror plates, oxidation consistent with age, and hand-cut lap joints within the timber framing.

A Chippendale mirror functions as an architectural focal point when positioned above a minimalist console table, a fireplace mantelpiece, or paired with contemporary upholstered furniture to create a balanced juxtaposition of periods.

Dust the carved frame regularly with a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, avoid applying chemical polishes to the original gilt accents, and clean the mirror glass by dampening a cloth lightly without allowing liquid to seep into the inner slip or frame edges.
