FAQs

A Georgian pier mirror is a tall, narrow looking glass traditionally designed to be hung on the pier or wall space between two windows in an 18th-century interior.

These pieces typically feature a carved softwood or gesso-on-wood substrate, finished with gold leaf applied over a bole layer, often utilising traditional joinery and mirrored glass with bevelled or flat edges.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the gesso ground for craquelure, the presence of old tool marks, foxing or silver loss on the mirror plate, and the construction methods used on the wooden backing frame.

Such pieces function effectively as focal points in modern schemes, providing a reflective surface that bounces natural light while contrasting antique patination against clean architectural lines.

Gilded frames require gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush and must be kept away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of the delicate gold leaf layer.
