Where should a hanging vanity mirror be placed?

These mirrors suit placement in bedrooms, hallways, or above dressing tables where wall mounting is practical. Ensure the hanging fixings match the weight of the specific timber, brass, or glass construction.

How do I clean the glass and frame?

Use a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust from wooden or gilded frames without disturbing the finish. Apply glass cleaner sparingly to a cloth rather than directly onto the mirror plate to protect old silvering.

Are these mirrors heavy to hang?

Weight varies considerably depending on whether the frame utilises dense hardwood, cast brass, or plaster gesso. Substantial pieces require appropriate wall anchors and secure fixings to support the load safely.

How do I identify the period of a mirror?

Examine the timber species, construction joints, and decorative style against known historical design periods. Victorian and Edwardian pieces often display distinct revival motifs, while Art Deco examples favour geometric simplicity.
