Convex mirrors were the height of fashion in the early 19th century, promoted by Thomas Sheraton's Cabinet Dictionary, 1783, and George Smith's Collection of Designs for Household Furniture and Interior Decoration, 1808. However they were also employed earlier such as at Syon House in the 1760s where Adam installed one, and a companion concave mirror, in the `Jacobean' Long Gallery, no doubt a frequent source of amusement to guests in the house.
