FAQs

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors often draw on classical revival motifs, featuring elaborate carved wooden frames coated in gold leaf or gilt composition, reflecting the opulent interior design tastes of the period.

These mirrors are typically constructed from hand-carved softwood or hardwood frames, layered with gesso, and finished with gold leaf or metallic paint, holding silvered plate glass secured with wooden backing boards.

Authenticity is indicated by historical indicators such as hand-beveled or uneven silvered mirror plates, old wood backing secured with hand-cut screws, craquelure in the gesso, and natural oxidisation within the glass.

Mounting a large gilt mirror against a painted wall or leaning it casually on a floor allows it to act as a dramatic focal point, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist surroundings.

Gilt surfaces are extremely fragile and sensitive to moisture; dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical cleaners, commercial polishes, or excessive humidity to prevent the gold leaf from flaking.
