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

19th-century French mirrors are characterised by detailed moulding work, often featuring Rococo or Neoclassical elements such as scrolled acanthus leaves, central floral crestings, and decorative garlands. Frames were frequently painted in muted soft cream, white, or grey tones to complement period panelling.

These frames were typically constructed using pine or oak timber bases covered with gesso, a mixture of chalk and glue binder. The intricate details were either hand-carved directly into the timber or moulded in gesso before paint or gilding was applied over silvered glass plates.

Authentic pieces exhibit fine age-related cracking known as craquelure within the gesso layer, alongside light oxidisation or dark spotting (foxing) on the original mirrored glass. The backings usually feature original timber boards with traditional iron tacks and hand-saw marks.

A large French mirror can be hung directly above a fireplace mantelpiece or positioned resting against a wall in an entryway or dining room. The muted painted finish creates a soft focal point that bounces natural light across contemporary or traditional interior schemes.

Dust the ornate carved frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristle brush to avoid dislodging fragile gesso details. Avoid applying liquid polish or water directly onto the painted surfaces, and spray glass cleaner onto a soft cloth rather than directly onto the mirror plate.
