Where should I hang a hall mirror?

Position the mirror at eye level opposite a light source or an open doorway to maximise the reflection of natural light into the hall. Ensure the wall fixings match the weight of the timber and glass combination to secure the frame safely.

How do I identify the period of a mirror?

Examine the timber used in the frame, the style of any carving, and the construction methods visible on the reverse of the piece. Revival styles often copy earlier Georgian or baroque designs, so look closely at the ageing of the wood and the characteristics of the glass.

Can I replace the mirror glass?

Many older mirrors have had their glass replaced over time due to damage or foxing over the centuries. A modern or replacement mirror plate does not diminish the decorative appeal of the antique frame if the proportions remain correct.

What is the difference between a wall mirror and a hall stand?

A wall mirror is a dedicated hanging frame designed solely to reflect light and provide a surface for checking appearances. A hall stand is a larger, multi-functional piece of furniture incorporating a mirror alongside umbrella storage, hooks and sometimes a seat.
