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

Late Victorian giltwood mirrors frequently incorporate classical revival elements, including ribbon-bow crestings, rope-twist borders, and delicate beaded mouldings framing rectangular plate glass.

Traditional frames were constructed from carved timber, often enhanced with composition mouldings, coated in layers of gesso, and finished using water or oil gilding with thin gold leaf.

Authentic pieces generally display pine backboards, natural wear revealing red or grey clay bole beneath the gold leaf, and light foxing or oxidisation to the silvered mirror glass.

A gilt mirror acts as an effective focal point when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, dining room sideboard, or entryway console table, contrasting traditional texture with modern backdrop tones.

Dust the frame using a dry, soft bristle brush or feather duster; avoid liquid cleaners, water, or commercial polishes, as moisture dissolves water-gilding and degrades underlying gesso.
