Antique Convex Gilt Wall Mirror – Restoration Project An original antique convex gilt wall mirror offered as a restoration or repair project. The mirror features a classically carved bow-form crest with scroll and foliate detailing, typical of traditional giltwood frames. Retains its original hanging string for drop-hanging. Convex mirrors of this type were historically produced for both decorative and functional use, providing wide-angle reflection and visual depth. Once restored, this example would suit period interiors, heritage properties, hotels, retail environments, or trade resale. Condition / Restoration Notes Outer gilt frame detached from the inner frame around approximately 50% of the circumference Two linear cracks present to the frame Age-related wear to gilding and timber throughout Convex glass shows surface marks and wear consistent with age Offered as found, uncleaned and unrestored This is the condition in which the mirror was acquired. Ideal for a professional restorer, dealer, or experienced DIY restoration. Dimensions (Approx.) Overall height: 47 cm Overall width: 44 cm Convex glass diameter: 39.5 cm Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and accurately reflect condition. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. Any glare visible in the photos is due to lighting. I’m happy to combine postage where possible, and you’re welcome to browse my other antique mirrors and vintage items currently available.
