FAQs

The Adam style draws inspiration from classical antiquity, featuring symmetrical motifs like urns, bellflowers, and classical pilasters, which were revived during the Victorian era.

These pieces typically utilise carved softwood or composition ornament applied to a wooden frame, finished with gold leaf or gilt paint over a gesso base.

Authenticity is indicated by historical hallmarks such as hand-applied gesso, oxidised silver or mercury backing on older glass plates, and traditional joinery at the frame corners.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace or a minimalist modern console creates a striking focal point, balancing historical ornamentation with clean, contemporary lines.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaners or abrasive materials that can damage the delicate gold leaf finish.
