FAQs

Italian Rococo style emerged during the 18th century and is characterised by elaborate, fluid scrollwork, acanthus leaf carvings, and organic asymmetrical forms. Mirrors from this movement were designed as focal points to reflect candlelight and emphasize architectural grandeur.

Frames were typically hand-carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, then coated with gesso, a smooth mixture of chalk and glue. Layers of gold leaf were applied over a clay base (bole) and burnished to achieve a metallic sheen.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-carving on the reverse, joint lines in the wood, and natural wear where red or grey bole shows through the gilded layer. The mirror glass may also exhibit minor oxidisation or desilvered spots, known as foxing.

Positioning a large Rococo mirror above a contemporary fireplace or a minimalist sideboard creates a contrast between historic ornamentation and clean lines. The mirror amplifies light and visually expands smaller or darker spaces.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft camel-hair brush to prevent damage to delicate gold leaf. Avoid liquid cleaners, water, or chemical polish on the gilded timber, and clean the glass using a lightly dampened cloth held away from the frame edge.
