FAQs

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors often draw on neoclassical, regency, or Victorian design principles, featuring hand-carved wooden frames coated in fine gold leaf or gilt composition.

These pieces typically utilise a carved wooden base, often pine or gesso-coated plaster, finished with gold leaf and hand-silvered glass plates that exhibit natural ageing.

Authenticity is determined by examining the joinery, the presence of hand-applied gesso, the oxidation patterns on the mercury or silvered glass, and the weight and patina of the frame.

An antique gilt mirror works effectively as a statement piece when contrasted against minimalist walls, or positioned above a modern mantelpiece to add architectural depth and reflected light.

Maintain the frame by dusting gently with a soft, dry brush, avoiding all chemical cleaning agents, and clean the antique glass sparingly with a damp cloth to protect the original silvering.
