Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Victorian Rococo revival mirrors feature ornate asymmetrical scrollwork, acanthus leaf motifs, shell cresting, and curved oval or rectangular frames. The style draws inspiration from 18th-century French Rococo, emphasisng fluid floral shapes and gilding.

These mirrors were typically constructed from carved wooden frames layered with gesso, a plaster-like material, before gold leaf was applied. The glass was made using silvering techniques or mercury plating depending on the mid-to-late Victorian production period.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of natural age, including minor foxing on the glass, wear on the gilding revealing reddish bole or white gesso beneath, and hand-carved details or joined timber backboards.

Positioning an ornate gold mirror above a contemporary console table or minimalist mantelpiece creates a balanced visual contrast between historic ornamentation and clean modern lines.

Dust the frame lightly with a soft, dry feather duster without using water or chemical cleaners, which can dissolve gesso and gold leaf. Clean the mirror glass carefully with a slightly damp microfibre cloth, ensuring moisture does not touch the gilding.
