FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors often feature intricate hand-carved wooden frames coated in gesso and finished with silver leaf or silver gilt, reflecting the neoclassical or baroque revival aesthetics of the period.

Authentic period mirrors were constructed using solid timber frames coated in multiple layers of gesso to create a smooth surface for applying metallic leaf, joined using traditional corner construction techniques.

Authentication involves inspecting the composition of the gesso, observing hand-tooling marks on the carved wood, checking for age-related foxing on the mercury or silvered glass plate, and examining the backboards and fixings.

Interior designers frequently position large antique mirrors above modern marble fireplaces or lean them against a minimalist wall to create a juxtaposition between historic craftsmanship and contemporary clean lines.

Preservation requires dusting gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding all chemical cleaning agents and moisture to prevent damage to the delicate gesso and metallic leaf finish.
