Where should I hang a tall rectangular wall mirror?

These pieces suit entrance halls, drawing rooms, and spaces above mantelpieces where their vertical proportions can stretch the visual height of the room. Ensure the wall structure can support the weight of timber and glass, particularly with larger overmantel examples.

How do I identify a nineteenth-century frame?

Examine the construction of the timber and the application of the gesso beneath the gilt or paint layers. Period pieces often show hand-tooling marks and natural shrinkage in the wood that modern reproductions cannot replicate.

What causes the dark spots on old glass?

The silvering behind the glass oxidises over decades, creating the characteristic mottled patches known as a distressed plate. This chemical ageing is a natural result of time and adds depth to the reflection.

Are these mirrors heavy to mount?

Solid wood and gesso frames combined with thick glass plates result in substantial weight. Professional hanging hardware fixed directly into wall studs is essential for safe installation.
