Where should I hang a victorian column mirror?

These mirrors suit principal reception rooms, hallways, or above bedroom fireplaces where their architectural height can visually expand the space. Ensure the wall construction supports the substantial weight of solid wood and gesso frames.

How do I identify a victorian column mirror?

Look for nineteenth-century timber frames incorporating classical pilasters, turned columns, or ribbed side supports alongside traditional joinery methods. Overmantel and pier formats dominate this category, often finished in giltwood or polished mahogany.

Are these mirrors heavy?

Solid wood frames combined with thick glass and gesso mouldings create considerable weight requiring secure wall fixings into masonry or studs. Professional installation is recommended for large overmantel versions.

Can I clean the original glass?

Use a soft cloth and a gentle glass cleaner, avoiding abrasive materials that might damage aged surfaces or original silvering. Take care around the edges where the mirror plate meets the wooden rebate.
