FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors frequently incorporate classical motifs, elaborate crests, and fire-gilt or water-gilt finishes over carved wooden frames, reflecting the opulent interior design tastes of the Second Empire and Victorian eras.

Authentic period pieces are typically constructed from softwoods such as pine or oak for the structural frame, covered with layers of gesso and bole before applying genuine gold leaf or metal leaf finishes.

Authentication relies on examining the glass for imperfections, bubbles, and silver oxidisation (foxing), as well as inspecting the timber backing, hand-cut joinery, and the application method of the gesso and gilding.

Positioning a large antique mirror leaning against a neutral wall creates a striking focal point, reflecting natural light while contrasting traditional ornamentation with contemporary minimalist furniture.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry brush without using water or chemical cleaners, and clean the mirror glass sparingly with a microfibre cloth and neutral glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly onto the surface.
