FAQs

Victorian swept frames are characterised by their undulating, sinuous profiles with deep concave curves and elaborate moulded ornamentation, heavily influenced by Rococo and Baroque revivals.

These frames typically feature a carved wooden or composition core, layered with gesso, applied gold leaf or gilt metal leaf, and burnished details.

Authentic period pieces display hand-applied gesso cracking, genuine oxidation of the metallic leaf, subtle tool marks, and dense timber or composition bases rather than modern synthetic resins.

They provide a striking visual contrast when hung against minimalist, neutral walls or used as a standalone sculptural mirror frame in modern settings.

Gilt surfaces are extremely fragile and should only be dusted gently with a dry, ultra-soft brush; avoid all liquids, solvents, and abrasive cloths to prevent stripping the delicate metallic leaf.
