FAQs

George III mirrors from the mid-18th century are characterised by symmetrical classical proportions, often featuring fretwork frames, scrolling ears, and prominent carved or gilded motifs such as eagles or pheasants at the crest.

These frames were typically constructed from imported hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, often incorporating gilded gesso accents, pine secondary woods, and hand-silvered float or cylinder glass plates.

Authentic pieces often display original mercury-backed or heavily oxidized glass with foxing, hand-cut dovetail or pegged joints on the frame construction, and older secondary backboards secured with handmade screws or nails.

Pairing a dark wood period mirror with minimalist walls or modern lighting creates a focal point that adds historical depth and texture without overwhelming the space.

Keep mirrors out of direct sunlight to prevent wood fading and frame drying, clean the glass with a soft, lint-free cloth without spraying liquid directly onto the frame or edges to protect the fragile silvering.
