Where should I place a table mirror?

These mirrors sit comfortably on top of chests of drawers, sideboards, or dedicated dressing surfaces where their height can be appreciated. Ensure the supporting furniture is deep enough to balance the projection of the mirror frame and its base.

Are the mirror plates original?

Many older mirrors have replacement glass due to the fragility of silvering over centuries. Examination of the edges and backing can often reveal whether the glass is a later insertion. Original plates may show light foxing or speckling, which collectors value as a sign of age.

How do I adjust the mirror angle?

Most pieces use brass side screws or pivot pins that pass through the upright arms into the mirror frame. Tightening or loosening these thumb screws allows the glass to tilt to the desired angle. Care should be taken not to force older hardware when adjusting the tension.

How do I clean walnut frames?

Dust the carved walnut surfaces gently with a dry, soft cloth to prevent a buildup of grime in the recesses of the carving. Avoid modern chemical sprays that can strip the polished finish. Occasional application of a suitable wax polish helps nourish the timber grain.
