Antique furniture with inset
glass and antique glass mirrors can sometimes show signs of their age with a
mottled or blotchy effect, often referred to as ‘foxing’ or ‘silvering’.
When in small area’s, close to
edges that do not intrude into their main purpose of reflecting an image, this
gentle form of ageing can be both charming and authentic.
In its most advanced form of
deterioration, this glass is used by film makers to achieve a particular effect
in movie making.
If foxing has occurred on a piece
of antique furniture with glass, which is a functional piece, in everyday use, it
might be preferably to replace the aged mirror with a quality piece of modern
glass, as re-silvering restoration by specialist restorers can be time
consuming and expensive.
For best cleaning results, on
mirrors or glass, use ‘scrim’ cotton gauze cloth.
