FAQs

Victorian mirrors often feature robust wooden frames, rounded or arched tops, and darker finishes that reflect the ornate and eclectic tastes of the 19th century.

These frames were typically constructed from solid timbers such as mahogany, walnut, or pine, often painted or ebonised, fitted with silvered or mercury glass plates.

Authentic period pieces often display natural foxing, oxidation spots, uneven thickness in the glass, and hand-planed backing boards secured with old fixings.

An antique mirror adds character and texture when hung against contemporary neutral walls, or placed above a minimalist sideboard to create a focal point through contrasting eras.

Clean the glass gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can seep behind the frame and accelerate degradation of the original silvering.
