FAQs

During the 19th century in France, wooden mirror frames were frequently coated with gessoa plaster mixture of binder, chalk, and pigmentallowing artisans to mould refined linear details and apply painted or distressed finishes.

These mirrors were typically built from carved timber frames coated in hand-applied gesso plaster, which was then painted or parcel-gilded and fitted with flat or bevelled mirror glass.

Authentic period examples often feature original wood backing boards, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, fine age-related craquelure in the gesso surface, and subtle oxidisation or silvering wear on the reflective glass.

A large rectangular mirror works effectively positioned above a hallway console, mounted over a mantelpiece, or leaned against a neutral dining room wall to increase natural light and spatial depth.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster. Avoid water, damp cloths, and chemical cleaners, as moisture can dissolve or crack traditional water-based gesso.
