FAQs

Louis XVI style mirrors are defined by Neoclassical design principles, featuring symmetrical oval or rectangular frames adorned with classical cresting such as ribbon bows, floral garlands, and beaded moulding.

Traditional gilt mirrors were constructed from hand-carved wood or moulded gesso over timber, finished with water gilding using thin gold leaf laid over a coloured clay bole base.

Authentic gilding displays slight variations where individual gold leaf squares overlap, alongside subtle wear showing the underlying red or yellow clay bole on raised decorative highlights.

A gilt oval mirror can be hung above a console table, incorporated into a wall gallery, or positioned in a cloakroom to introduce reflective light and architectural detail against contemporary paint finishes.

Giltwood frames should be dusted using a soft dry brush, avoiding water, liquid chemical cleaners, or abrasives that can strip the delicate gold leaf and soften the gesso underneath.
