How do I clean a sterling silver hand mirror?

Sterling silver benefits from gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish to remove tarnish without scratching the metal surface. Care must be taken around painted enamel or inset glass to avoid harsh chemical contact that might ruin the decorative finish.

Are these mirrors suitable for daily use?

These pieces were built for functional vanity use on Edwardian and Art Deco dressing tables, making them sturdy enough for careful everyday handling. Enamelled and painted examples require extra mindfulness to prevent chipping or scratching the delicate surfaces during use.

How can I tell an Art Deco mirror from an Edwardian one?

Edwardian mirrors frequently display flowing floral motifs, embossed cherubs, and romantic sterling silver repoussé work characteristic of the early 1900s. Art Deco pieces introduce geometric guilloche enamel patterns, streamlined silhouettes, and vibrant yellow, green, or blue colour palettes from the late 1920s onward.

What materials were used for the mirror glass?

Earlier pieces utilise traditional mirror glass set securely within weighted metal or wooden frames, sometimes featuring bevelled edges. Over the decades, manufacturing methods evolved, but glass remained the primary reflective medium across compacts, hand mirrors, and wall styles.
