FAQs

The George III style, spanning the mid to late 18th century, is characterised by neoclassical influences, refined proportions, and the frequent use of imported mahogany with intricate fretwork or gilded details.

These frames were typically constructed from solid mahogany or pine with fine veneers, assembled using traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon. Mirrors often featured hand-bevelled glass plates silvered using historical mercury or tin-amalgam techniques.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as foxing and oxidisation on the mirror plate, hand-cut secondary timbers on the reverse, and subtle asymmetries indicative of hand-tooling rather than modern machinery.

Pairing a traditional wooden mirror with modern minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the period while maintaining a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Keep antique mirrors out of direct sunlight to prevent timber fading, and clean the glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth without using harsh chemical sprays that could seep behind the frame and damage the historical silvering.
