Where should I hang a curved glass mirror?

These mirrors suit living rooms, halls, or above mantelpieces where they can gather light and create a sense of depth. Because convex and optical glasses alter perspective, placing them opposite a window or light source maximises their visual impact.

How do I clean antique mirror glass?

Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently remove dust from the glass and the surrounding wooden or gilt frame. Avoid commercial liquid cleaners that can seep behind the glass plate and damage the historical silvering or foxing on the reverse.

What is the difference between convex and fairground mirrors?

Convex mirrors feature a uniform outward curve that reflects a wide, circular view of an interior space. Fairground mirrors utilise intentional distortion to bend and warp reflections, serving as theatrical or amusement pieces.

How do I date an antique curved glass mirror?

Examine the construction of the wooden frame, the backing boards, and the type of glass used in the piece. Styles such as Victorian gesso work, Aesthetic Movement burr yew, and Art Deco geometry provide clear stylistic markers for their period.
