The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

Florentine mirrors are characterised by intricately carved openwork frames displaying sweeping acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and stylized floral cresting derived from Italian Renaissance and Baroque designs.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved timber frameworks coated in gesso plaster, which was subsequently layered with fine gold leaf gilding over a bole base.

Authentic 19th-century mirrors exhibit hand-carved wooden backing plates, minor surface cracking or craquelure in the gesso, signs of genuine gold leaf burnishing, and subtle oxidisation across the original glass plate.

Placing a large gilt mirror above a fireplace or structural architectural feature serves as an anchor point, creating visual depth and amplifying light across modern neutral spaces.

Dust the ornate carved frame using a dry feather duster or soft dry brush, avoiding liquids or abrasive cleaning chemical solutions that strip leaf gilding and degrade exposed gesso layers.
