FAQs

Giltwood wall mirrors are defined by wooden frames finished with thin layers of gold leaf or gilt metal, often featuring decorative carved or moulded plaster motifs such as acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and gadrooning.

Traditional construction involved a softwood or hardwood core covered with gesso (a plaster mixture), detailed composition moulding or carving, fine gold leaf application, and silvered glass mirror plates.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit natural age-related wear, subtle cracking in the gesso layer known as craquelure, reddish bolus clay showing through worn gold leaf, and hand-carved backboards or antique mirror plate oxidisation.

Positioning a gilded frame against a modern neutral or dark painted wall creates a focal point, drawing natural light into the room and contrasting classic detailing with modern clean lines.

Dust gently using a soft, dry feather duster or dry brush. Avoid water, damp cloths, or chemical cleaners on the gilt surface, as moisture degrades traditional water gilding and gesso.
