What periods do these mirrors come from?

The selection includes pieces spanning from the eighteenth century through to the Art Deco period of the nineteen-thirties. Nineteenth-century Victorian and revival styles are particularly common. Each era brings distinct carving techniques and framing materials to the selection.

How do I clean an antique mirror plate?

Clean the glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror. This prevents moisture from seeping behind the plate. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage aged silvering or surrounding wooden frames.

Can these mirrors be hung in bathrooms?

Bathrooms experience high humidity which can damage antique wood finishes, gesso and traditional silvered glass over time. Placing them in drier hallways, living rooms or bedrooms is generally safer. If placed in a bathroom, ensure adequate ventilation to protect the timber and leaf work.
