This nineteenth-century Regency wall mirror is constructed from giltwood and gesso with a glass plate, finished in a dark reflective gold. The rectangular mirror is set inside a deeply moulded wooden frame, crowned by a carved pediment of a flower basket flanked by two cherubs and acanthus scrollwork. Further carved floral motifs decorate the upper corners and the bottom center of the frame. Signs of age include minor surface wear to the gold finish. Measuring 130 cm high, 79 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, the mirror functions practically as a statement piece in a living room, hallway, or dining room, most traditionally positioned above a mantelpiece.

FAQs

Regency style mirrors from the early 19th century typically feature classical motifs, hand-carved detailing, architectural mouldings, and gold leaf gilding over carved timber frames.

Frames were predominantly constructed from carved pine or lime wood, coated with gesso groundwork, and finished using leaf gold over clay bole with hand-silvered glass.

Authentic pieces display carved timber structure beneath minor chips, natural wear showing the underlying clay bole, and subtle oxidisation or silver degradation in the glass.

Position the mirror above a contemporary console table or mantelpiece to create a focal point that contrasts classical detailing with modern lines.

Dust gently with a soft feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water and liquid cleaners that can dissolve traditional gesso and loosen gold leaf.
