How do I secure a floor mirror safely?

Most large floor standing mirrors benefit from discreet wall fixings at the top rear of the frame to prevent accidental tipping. Placing them on stable, level flooring ensures the weight distributes evenly across the base. Heavier cheval frames rely on properly tightened side pivots to maintain the desired tilt without slipping.

Where should I place a floor mirror?

Positioning a tall mirror opposite a window multiplies natural light and opens up dark corners of a room. Bedrooms and dressing areas suit cheval designs, while living rooms and hallways accommodate broader frames. Keep the glass angled slightly downward if you wish to reflect architectural details rather than the ceiling.

How do I clean antique mirror glass?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, ammonia-free glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the glass. This prevents moisture from seeping behind the silvering or damaging the painted wooden frame. Avoid abrasive materials that might scratch the aged surface of the mirror.

How can I tell the period of the frame?

Examine the construction methods visible on the reverse, including timber species, hand-cut screws, and the composition of the gesso layers. Nineteenth-century examples often display denser carving and distinct paint layering compared to later twentieth-century reproductions. Stylistic cues such as Louis XVI revival scrolls or Chinoiserie motifs also point to specific manufacturing eras.
