How do I choose the right size?

Match the scale of the mirror to the available wall space and surrounding furniture in your entrance. Larger overmantle styles suit wide hallway walls, while narrow pier mirrors fit restricted spaces between doors.

Where should I hang a hallway mirror?

Position the glass opposite a light source to maximise brightness in darker entrance corridors. Ensure the centre of the glass sits at comfortable eye level for daily use.

How do I identify a Victorian mirror?

Look for dense timber frames in oak or walnut, often featuring deep carvings or rosewood veneers. Many examples incorporate Revival motifs like Rococo scrolls or classical architectural elements.

Are Art Deco mirrors different?

Art Deco designs favour geometric shapes, clean lines, and contrasting materials like gilt and cream finishes. They reflect the modernist shift away from heavy nineteenth-century ornamentation.
