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

Pier mirrors from the George I period were designed for the wall space between windows, featuring tall proportions and arched crestings. Japanning refers to European lacquerwork imitating Asian designs, featuring raised gilt decoration over coloured lacquer grounds.

These frames utilise timber substrates coated in multiple layers of spirit varnish and red pigment. Decorative chinoiserie motifs are applied using gold powder, gesso relief, and hand-painted tempera details.

Authentic pieces and quality reproductions feature surface craquelure, natural rubbing to gilded high points, and hand-worked backboards. Secondary timber showing historical tool marks and aged mirror glass with light oxidisation indicate traditional construction.

Position the mirror in a narrow hallway, above a hall console, or between tall windows to enhance vertical proportions. The red lacquer finish and gold details contrast against neutral or deeply saturated paint schemes.

Dust the lacquered frame using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, solvents, or commercial polishes which can cloud the finish. Maintain stable indoor humidity to prevent the timber frame from expanding and cracking the lacquer layers.
