This Arts & Crafts period oval hanging wall mirror dates from circa 1900 in the English Country House style. The piece comprises a wooden frame clad in warm copper, surrounding a bevelled glass plate. The frame displays a planished copper texture across its segments, embellished with repoussé floral scroll relief carvings at the top and bottom. Measuring 51 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, it is supplied in good condition. Suitable for domestic settings today, this mirror functions effectively when mounted on a wall above the mantel in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, bringing period character to interior spaces.

FAQs

Arts and Crafts copper mirrors feature hand-worked sheet metal displaying visible planishing marks, organic or stylised floral decoration, and simple geometric forms. Originating in the late 19th century as a reaction against mass production, these pieces emphasize visible hand craftsmanship and natural patinated finishes.

These mirrors were constructed using sheet copper formed over a solid wooden frame backing. The relief patterns were hand-worked using repousse and chasing techniques, while the mirror plates typically featured heavy bevelled edges set into the inner rebate.

Authentic period pieces show subtle irregularities from hand-hammering, gentle wear along raised edges, and genuine surface oxidisation within recessed detail. Original wooden backing boards, copper tack fixings, and aged mirror plate silvering also indicate period origin.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, entryway console table, or hallway sideboard to create a focal point. Warm metal tones pair effectively with dark painted walls, exposed brickwork, natural timber, and earthy textiles.

Dust the copper frame using a dry, soft microfibre cloth to clean the surface without disturbing the natural patina. A void abrasive metal polishes and chemical cleaners, as these strip away historical surface oxidisation.
