The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Rococo Revival overmantel mirrors are defined by asymmetrical curves, elaborate scrollwork, leaf motifs, and fluid architectural silhouettes inspired by 18th-century French design.

Frames from this era were typically built from carved timber coated with gesso, followed by hand-applied leafing using water gilding or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period gilding displays natural wear patterns, light oxidisation, visible overlap lines between gold leaf squares, and reddish or grey bole clay layers beneath rubbed areas.

Positioning a gilded mirror above a clean-lined fireplace surround or modern hallway side cabinet creates a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary minimalist lines.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or liquid glass cleaners that can dissolve delicate gesso and leafing.
