FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors are characterised by sophisticated ornamentation, often drawing inspiration from classical motifs, Louis XIV, XV, or XVI revivals, featuring intricate gesso moulding and carved wooden frames.

These pieces typically utilise a solid timber base overlaid with hand-carved wooden details and applied gesso, which is then traditionally water-gilded or oil-gilded with gold leaf or metallic powder.

Authentic pieces often display age-related characteristics such as foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-cut construction joints, and shrinkage cracks in the layered gesso beneath the gilding.

Placing a large gilded mirror opposite a window maximises natural light and creates a sense of expanded space, serving as a striking focal point when contrasted against minimalist walls or contemporary furnishings.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners, alcohol, or abrasives, as moisture and harsh chemicals can permanently lift or damage the delicate gesso and gold leaf layers.
