How do I hang a heavy mirror safely?

Heavy period mirrors require robust wall fixings secured directly into masonry or wall studs to bear the substantial weight of the wood and glass frame. Professional installation is recommended for large items, particularly those featuring original fittings or delicate gesso work.

What causes spots on vintage mirrors?

Spots and discoloration, known as foxing, occur when moisture seeps behind the glass and reacts with the silvered backing over decades. Many collectors value this natural ageing process because it confirms the genuine historical age of the reflective plate.

How should I clean silvered glass?

Clean the glass surface gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust without disturbing the edges or any exposed backing. Avoid harsh chemical sprays or abrasive liquids that might seep behind the frame and accelerate degradation of the silver layer.

Are Art Deco mirrors different from Victorian ones?

Art Deco mirrors favour geometric shapes, frameless octagonal designs, and etched motifs that reflect the modernist tastes of the 1920s and 1930s. Victorian and Edwardian pieces lean towards ornate carved wood, heavy gilt frames, and traditional cushion or overmantel proportions.
