FAQs

19th-century French mirrors are characterised by ornate carved crestings, shaped top apertures, and hand-painted or gesso-gilded finishes. They often feature classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, shell designs, and subtle etched borders on the glass.

Frames were typically constructed from carved hardwoods like oak or pine, coated with gesso, and finished with paint or gold leaf. The mirror plates were made of silvered glass, often displaying slight foxing or oxidisation over time.

Authentic period pieces show signs of age on the reverse, such as dark pine backing boards, hand-cut joinery, and natural degradation of the silvering behind the glass. The carved elements usually display subtle irregularities from hand-tooling.

Positioning the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or a contemporary dining room sideboard provides a structural focal point. The painted timber tones contrast effectively against contemporary dark paint palettes or neutral plastered walls.

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid flaking original paint or gesso. Clean the mirror plate with a microfibre cloth lightly dampened with water, avoiding spray cleaners near the timber edges.
