Where should I hang a gilded crest mirror?

These pieces suit principal reception rooms, hallways, or above fireplaces where their decorative top carvings can be appreciated without obstruction. Because many examples are heavy overmantel or pier glasses, secure wall fixings into masonry or structural studs are essential for safe placement.

How do I care for antique giltwood?

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft, dry brush rather than a cloth that might snag delicate gesso or leafing. Avoid liquid cleaners, polishes, and direct sunlight, which can degrade the fragile metallic surfaces over time.

Foxing refers to the dark spots, speckling, and oxidation that develop on antique mirror plates as the backing degrades over decades. This natural ageing process confirms the age of the glass and adds character to the reflection without obscuring the image entirely.

How can I tell a Regency convex mirror from a Victorian one?

Regency examples typically date from the early 19th century, featuring distinct spherical glass plates, ebonised reeded inner bezels, and detailed eagle or ball crests. Victorian variations often incorporate heavier gesso decoration, oval formats, or revival styling influenced by earlier French aesthetics.
