FAQs

During the late Victorian era, oval mirrors featuring gilded wood frames were designed as wall accents influenced by Neoclassical and French proportions. These mirrors consist of carved timber or gesso moulding layered with gold leafing, serving as focal points in reception rooms and hallways.

Giltwood frames typically utilise a pine or hardwood structure coated in layers of gesso, a plaster preparation used for creating crisp moulded patterns. Thin gold leaf is then applied over a clay bole base, which wears naturally over time to reveal red or ochre undertones.

Authentic late 19th-century examples display natural patination, subtle cracking across the gesso surface known as craquelure, and gentle wear along raised edges where the underlying bole clay shows through. The original mirror glass may also exhibit faint oxidisation or dark spots near the perimeter.

An oval mirror softens the rectilinear lines of modern architecture and minimalist furniture. Placing a dark gilded mirror above a fireplace, sideboard, or entryway console reflects natural light across the space while introducing warm metallic texture.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth, keeping moisture and liquid cleaners completely away from the water-gilded surface. The glass plate should be cleaned by moistening a cloth directly rather than spraying solution near the frame edges.
