It provides a grand Regency aesthetic suitable for traditional or classic interior settings.

FAQs

Empire Revival style originated in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, drawing direct design inspiration from Napoleons First French Empire period. It is characterized by grand architectural proportions, rich mahogany veneers, classical columns, pediments, and gilded bronze or brass accents.

Nineteenth-century pier mirrors were typically crafted using solid timber bases clad in highly patterned flame mahogany veneers. The mirror plates were made of silvered glass, framed by turned columns often featuring cast or chassed gilded metal capitals.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of hand-craftsmanship, such as hand-cut dovetails on back framing, secondary woods like pine or oak behind the veneers, and gentle oxidisation or foxing on the original silvered mirror plate.

Place the mirror in a narrow hallway, between two tall windows, or above a low console table to maximize light refraction and establish vertical depth within the space.

Dust the timber frame using a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply high-grade microcrystalline wax annually to protect the veneer. Clean the glass with a mild, ammonia-free solution applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed onto the mirror frame.
