Antique Arched Gilded Pier Mirror with Original Foxed Glass and Rope Carving H160cm

19th century
For Sale by Spinka & Co
Description

K0606 A good 19th-century gilded pier mirror of elegant proportions, perfectly suited as a grand wall mirror or positioned above a console table. This antique piece features an arched frame detailed with a classic moulded edge and rope-carved decoration.

Crucially, the mirror retains its original glass, displaying that highly desirable, authentic foxing and gentle silvering degradation that only time can achieve. The frame retains much of its original gilt finish, showing an accumulation of history, some touch-ups over the generations, and honest oxidation. This natural wear creates an outstanding antique character and depth of patina.

The reverse retains its original timber backboards, now fitted with four wall brackets. Sturdy, structurally sound, and full of historical charm, this mirror arrives completely ready to place and enjoy in any refined home. c1860

A pier mirror was originally designed in the 18th and 19th centuries to occupy the wall space between two windows, known as the pier, reflecting natural light deeper into interior rooms.

These mirrors were constructed using carved wood or composition ornament applied to timber frames, coated in gesso and clay bole, finished with genuine gold leaf, and fitted with hand-blown plate glass.

Authentic period mirror glass features faint distortion, slight thickness variation, greyish mercury silvering, and natural edge oxidisation known as foxing.

Positioning a tall gilded mirror opposite a window or leaning it against a neutral wall creates vertical proportion and bounces light across contemporary living spaces.

Dust the gilded frame lightly using a soft dry brush, while cleaning the glass with a slightly damp cloth without allowing liquid to seep beneath the frame edges.
