FAQs

A girandole is a decorative wall mirror featuring integrated candle sconces, designed to multiply the flickering light of candles within a room. Popularised in the 17th and 18th centuries, they served both functional illumination and opulent decorative purposes before the advent of electricity.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden base, often made of pine or gesso-coated composition material, finished with gold leaf applied over a bole layer. Traditional joinery and hand-carved ornamentation are standard hallmarks of authentic period craftsmanship.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit genuine oxidisation and foxing on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, coupled with hand-applied gold leaf showing craquelure, subtle wear, and age-related shrinkage in the gesso ground.

Pairing a gilded mirror with modern minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast that highlights the historic craftsmanship. Positioning it opposite a light source maximises illumination and enhances spatial depth in a room.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and sensitive to moisture; they should only be dusted gently with a dry, soft ostrich feather duster or a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid all chemical cleaning agents, polishes, and excessive humidity.
