How do I hang a heavy mahogany mirror?

Check the weight of the frame and ensure the wall fixings match the structure of your wall. Heavy overmantel mirrors require direct mounting into wall studs or masonry. Distribute the weight evenly using strong picture wire or mirror brackets attached securely to the wooden frame back.

Can I put these mirrors in a bathroom?

Bathroom placement is possible if the room ventilation prevents excessive moisture buildup. Edwardian shaving mirrors were specifically designed for daily grooming use. Protect the antique wood and silvered glass backing from direct water splashes to preserve the finish.

How do I tell an original Georgian mirror from a revival piece?

Examine the timber construction, the type of screws or fixings used at the back, and the ageing of the mirror plate. Eighteenth-century pieces show hand-cut joinery and subtle wood shrinkage. Revival pieces from the Victorian and Edwardian periods often utilise machine-sawn elements and later glass manufacturing methods.

How do I clean antique mirror glass?

Wipe the glass gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild glass cleaner. Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the glass edge. Keep moisture away from the wooden frame and the silvered backing to prevent damage.
