ANTIQUE EDWARDIAN CIRCA 1920 COUNTRY HOUSE WALL MOUNTED CARVED BOBBIN MIRROR

Antiques of London

We are delighted to offer for sale this Antique Wall Mirror.

Dating back to the Edwardian era around 1920, embodies the charming and characterful aesthetic of a country house. The late Edwardian style blends into the emerging Art Deco style, often seen in country homes. It leans towards a simple elegance with rustic charm, reflecting a desire for less formal interiors.

The mirror's distinctive feature is its frame, crafted with a "bobbin" or "spool-turned" design. This involves shaping wood into a series of rounded, bead-like forms resembling stacked bobbins. This technique adds a tactile and decorative element, often complemented by carved details like floral motifs, geometric patterns, or a subtly carved crest. Designed to be wall-mounted, the mirror would have been a functional and decorative addition to a hallway, bedroom, or living room.

Crafted from wood such as oak, pine or fruitwood, the frame's overall design evokes a sense of warmth, authenticity, and unpretentious beauty. The antique mirror glass may exhibit subtle signs of age, like silvering or minor imperfections, adding to its authenticity. The mirror will likely exhibit signs of wear consistent with its history, such as minor scratches, dings, or fading of the finish, further contributing to its unique charm and testament to its age. This antique Edwardian carved bobbin mirror is a delightful piece of country house history, perfect for adding a vintage-inspired touch to any interior.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote. 

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear. 

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
