FAQs

Convex mirrors, often known as bullseye or bankers mirrors, gained popularity in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries before seeing major revivals in the Regency and Victorian eras, originally designed to provide a wide-angle view of a room for security and illumination.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a turned timber or gesso-on-wood frame finished with gold leaf or gilt, surrounding a curved glass plate set within a reeded ebonised slip.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the ageing of the gilt finish, the presence of hand-turned wooden balls or acorns, the weight of the timber backing, and minor imperfections or foxing within the curved glass.

A convex mirror serves as a focal point in modern spaces by reflecting light across the room, working particularly well when mounted above a fireplace mantel or paired with minimalist furnishings to create visual contrast.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the gesso and gilt from cracking, and dusting gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth without using liquid chemical cleaners.
