The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

George II style mirrors, originating from the mid-18th century, feature architectural outlines combined with ornate Rococo scrollwork. They frequently incorporate pediments, carved acanthus leaves, motifs such as eagles or ho-ho birds, and contrasting finishes like gilded wood against lacquer or paint.

Traditional construction involved carved pine or lime wood coated with gesso and gold leaf gilding. Frames often incorporated hand-painted lacquer, japanning, or scarlet paint finishes, surrounding mercury-amalgam glass plates.

Authentic period pieces show signs of aged gilding with visible red or grey clay bole beneath worn gold leaf, hand-carved wood backing boards with antique joinery, and natural grey oxidation spots on original glass plates.

Position a scarlet and giltwood mirror above a neutral console table, fireplace mantel, or sideboard to serve as a visual anchor. The bold contrast of gold and red pairs well with dark blue, white, or timber-panelled walls.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical sprays which dissolve gesso and gold leaf. Clean mirror glass by spraying glass cleaner directly onto a cloth rather than the frame.
