About the Item
Mirror in silver and mercury mirror made in the second part of the 19th century
Ø cm 32 h cm 31,5
Mercury mirrors are a type of ancient mirror that uses a thin sheet of mercury to create a reflective surface.
Production process:
A glass plate was cleaned and coated with a layer of tin.
Mercury was poured onto the tin plate and distributed evenly, creating a reflective surface.
Excess mercury was removed and the glass sealed with a lead or wooden rim.
Characteristics:
They offered a clearer, brighter reflection than metal or silver glass mirrors.
The manufacturing process was laborious and required craftsmanship.
They were expensive and accessible only to the wealthier classes.
The mirror is in god conditions, considering the époque.
