Original English Brass Convex Porthole Mirror
Material: Brass, Convex Mirror Glass
A charming original English brass convex porthole mirror dating from the mid-20th century, retaining its original convex “fish-eye” mirror plate within a distinctive pressed brass surround.
The circular brass frame is decorated with twelve evenly spaced domed bosses, creating the appearance of traditional riveted maritime porthole construction. The brass has developed an attractive warm, mellow patina through decades of age and use, giving the piece considerable character.
At the centre is the original convex mirror plate, which remains clear and reflective. Its curved surface produces the characteristic wide-angle reflection associated with traditional convex and butler’s mirrors.
The reverse retains its original brass backing and hanging loop, preserving the integrity and period character of the piece.
