Dating from 1880, this large antique oval wall mirror belongs to the Grand Regency style and measures 134 cm high by 109 cm wide. The piece is constructed from wood, glass, ebonised wood, and gilt, presenting a striking colour palette of black and silver. The outer frame edge displays a parcel-gilt finish with an incised cross-hatch engraved design, surrounding a wide black ebonised band inset with multiple round faceted cut-glass and cabochon glass studs. The original mercury silvered mirror plate exhibits a grey tone to the silvering, and the reverse retains its original backing boards alongside four brass hanging plates. In a modern home, this substantial wall mirror functions effectively in principal reception rooms, hallways, or above a sideboard. The combination of the dark ebonised wooden band, the reflective glass studs, and the intricately engraved silvered border creates a refined decorative focal point for interior display. The large proportions make it suitable for wall mounting as a prominent architectural feature in traditional or transitional room schemes.

FAQs

A parcel gilt mirror is a framed wall mirror where gilding is applied selectively to specific decorative elements or mouldings, leaving the remainder of the frame in a contrasting wood, ebonised, or painted finish.

These pieces are typically constructed from hand-carved timber, lime wood, or moulded gesso, layered with gold or silver leaf, ebonised lacquers, and silvered glass plates.

Authentic period mirrors demonstrate age-appropriate oxidisation on the mirror plate, hand-cut joinery on the rear backing boards, and genuine wear where gold leaf reveals the underlying red or yellow clay bole.

Mounting an oval parcel gilt mirror above a clean-lined console table or mantelpiece creates a balanced focal point, juxtaposing classical craftsmanship against contemporary minimalist walls.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft feather duster, avoiding moisture or chemical solvents on the gilding, and clean the glass separately using a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with water.
