🎀 A big thank you to for their mention in this months article covering the recent regeneration works completed by on Francis Street, Dublin 8.

❈A stunning Rosewood Turnover-leaf Card Table from the William IV period (1830-1837).❈

❈Rosewood is a rich warm brown wood that has a very distinct grain. The figured top lifts up and swivels to reveal a lilac baize interior playing surface. The top is decorated with a carved frieze supported by a lovely shaped rosewood pedestal, finishing on a quatrefoil base with fantastic solid rosewood carved feet.❈

❈This table is very much in the manner of an Irish table mostly notable, the large paw-foot detail which is very typically Irish.❈

🌺 How to tell an antique mirror from a new copy❔

Antique mirrors are a statement piece in any home & really open up a room due to their size & the light they reflect, but how do you tell a genuine antique mirror?

⚜ Looking at the boards on the back of the mirror & seeing how it is attached to the frame is a good starting point to identify an antique. The back boards should be discoloured & show their age & you shouldn’t see any modern screws in the framework. Where it's not possible to see the back boards there are other ways to recognise an antique mirror.

⚜You can study the frame for signs of wear & imperfections. An antique mirror will rarely ever look completely perfect, without blemishes or imperfections. For some people, the more blemishes, the better 😊

⚜But the best way to tell the age of a mirror is by the glass in a mirror. An antique mirror will normally show it’s age through the imperfection of the glass. You may see some random bubbles, dark blotchy marks or slight waves in the glass – they are hallmarks of a genuine antique mirror. Old mirrors may also have a sparkly effect from the reaction of the mercury in the glass (the traditional method in which many antique mirrors were made). The ✨sparkly glass✨ is the holy grail for an antique mirror. ✔️

🔱It is the imperfect look of antiques which makes them all the more authentic & which lovers of antiques simply adore.Every home should have at least one wonderful mirror as a statement piece – it will take you décor to the next level.🖼️
