FAQs

Nineteenth-century mirrors frequently featured elaborate hand-carved wooden frameworks embellished with moulded gesso to create intricate relief ornamentation, drawing inspiration from classical, baroque, and rococo revivals.

These pieces were typically constructed using a supportive timber base overlaid with multiple layers of gessoa mixture of plaster of Paris and gluewhich was then hand-carved, gilded, or painted before housing a hand-silvered glass plate.

Authenticity is determined by examining the backboards for age-related timber shrinkage, inspecting the gesso for micro-craquelure and natural wear, and checking the mirror plate for foxing, oxidisation, and hand-bevelled edges.

Positioning a large antique mirror opposite a light source enhances spatial depth and luminosity, serving as a striking focal point above a fireplace or anchoring an expansive empty wall space.

Preservation requires maintaining stable room temperatures with minimal humidity fluctuations, dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoiding chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners that can damage the delicate gesso surface.
