FAQs

Nineteenth-century mirrors frequently featured neoclassical or revival motifs, utilising carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf or gilt composition to project status and reflect light in formal rooms.

These pieces typically consist of a hand-carved softwood or hardwood frame, assembled with traditional joinery, and coated with gesso before the application of fine gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authenticity is indicated by period-appropriate joinery, oxidisation and foxing within the silvering of the glass plate, hand-mixed gesso layers, and old hand-cut backing boards or fixings.

Positioning the piece as a focal point above a modern minimalist sideboard or leaning it against a plain wall creates a striking juxtaposition between historical craftsmanship and contemporary clean lines.

Dust the carved surfaces gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical solvents or moisture, which can damage the delicate gold leaf and historical gesso layers.
