FAQs

Originating in France during the reign of King Louis Philippe (18301848), this style is distinguished by soft, clean lines, rounded upper shoulders or corners, and a flat base designed to rest directly on a mantelpiece or sideboard.

These mirrors were typically built with a solid wood coreoften pine or oaklayered with gesso and decorated using gold or silver leaf, featuring hand-beaded inner trim and mirrored glass.

Authentic period examples feature characteristic rounded upper corners, subtle incised foliage or strapwork along the frame, hand-carved beaded inner mouldings, and genuine red or grey clay bole showing through worn areas of gilding.

Designers frequently position a gilt overmantel mirror above a fireplace or modern console table to introduce warm metallic tones and reflect light, creating contrast against minimal modern decor.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or clean microfiber cloth, avoiding water and liquid solvents that dissolve gesso and damage historic gilding.
