Where should a round mirror hang?

These circular mirrors suit principal reception rooms, entrance halls, and above fireplace mantels where their reflective qualities enhance natural light. Positioning them opposite a window or light source maximises the panoramic reflection created by convex glass plates.

How do I date a gilt mirror?

Dating relies on examining frame construction techniques, wood types, and the style of gesso ornamentation used by period makers. Stylistic cues such as Regency Grecian revival details or Victorian proportions help narrow down the decade of manufacture.

Are these mirrors heavy?

Period giltwood and gesso mirrors carry substantial weight due to dense timber frames and thick mirror glass plates. Secure wall fixings suited to the specific weight of the frame are essential for safe hanging.
