Code: M4 - Regency Convex Mirror

The use of stained and ebonised woods to imitate expensive bronze and ebony began during the Renaissance and found popularity during the Regency period in Fngland. Ebony, a heavy, fine grained timber was fashionable in France for furniture-making during the 17th century. The French word, ébèniste, cabinet-maker, is derived from their use of ebony.
