Where should I hang a fretwork mirror?

These mirrors suit spaces above mantelpieces, console tables or living room walls where their pierced frames can catch the light. They function well as focal points in traditional rooms. Ensure the wall anchor supports the weight of the timber frame and glass plate securely.

How do I identify a Georgian original?

Examine the construction behind the frame, looking for aged pine backboards, old fixings, and hand-cut joinery. Timbers should show natural oxidation and shrinkage consistent with age. Revival pieces from the Victorian or Edwardian eras often use machine-cut elements and modern backing screws.

What is a Ho-Ho bird crest?

The Ho-Ho bird is a mythical phoenix figure carved at the top centre of the mirror frame. It reflects the mid-eighteenth-century taste for Chinese decorative motifs. This cresting element anchors the symmetrical scrollwork of the fret-cut design.

Are these mirrors fragile?

The pierced wooden fretsawn sections require gentle handling during moving or cleaning. The thin scrollwork ears are particularly susceptible to impact if struck. Dust them carefully with a soft brush rather than pressing down with cloths.
