How do I care for an antique folding mirror?

Keep wooden frames away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture to protect the polished finish and veneer. Clean the glass gently with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemical sprays near old silvering and brass hinges.

Were campaign mirrors meant for military travel?

Officers and gentlemen utilised portable folding mirrors during travel and military campaigns for daily grooming. Robust woods and brass reinforcement protected the glass while stored inside fitted travel boxes.

How can I distinguish a Georgian mirror from a later copy?

Examine the construction methods, timber patination and the characteristics of the glass plate. Georgian examples display period joinery techniques and hand-bevelled glass rather than modern machine production.

Where should I place a triptych mirror at home?

Position the piece on a dressing table, chest of drawers or sideboard where light can catch the adjustable panels. Ensure stable placement so the folding wings remain balanced when adjusted to different angles.
