Where should I hang a pier mirror?

Pier mirrors suit narrow wall spaces, particularly the architectural gap between two windows where they historically reflected natural light into dark rooms. They also function effectively in hallways, dressing rooms, and above console tables to create an illusion of greater ceiling height.

How do I identify a Georgian style mirror?

Georgian style mirrors typically display classical symmetry, parcel gilding, and architectural elements such as broken pediments or gilded scrollwork. Many examples on this page date from later revival periods including the Edwardian era while strictly adhering to 18th-century design canons.

What is the difference between a pier glass and a wall mirror?

A pier glass specifically refers to a tall narrow mirror proportioned to fit the narrow wall space between windows in traditional domestic architecture. General wall mirrors encompass a broader range of shapes and proportions without this specific architectural placement requirement.

Are these mirrors original period pieces?

The selection includes genuine antique pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries alongside high-quality revival pieces from the early 20th century. Each listing specifies the exact period or style era to help buyers distinguish between original items and later interpretations.
