Description

This is an attractive pair of 19th century Giltwood pier mirrors of open lattice design in excellent original condition dating from around 1890. The mirrors have carved wooden gilded frames with C scroll detailing which have a softly rubbed finish and both have good clean mirror glass. The pair are slightly different in size with one measuring 79 cms by 59. 5 cms and the other being 74 cms by 59 cms.

A great pair to hang facing each other in a hallway to create the illusion of space or these could easy sit in opposite alcoves where the slight size difference would be unnoticeable.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century giltwood mirrors reflect the revival of classical and baroque design motifs popular during the Victorian and Regency periods, often crafted with meticulous hand-carved wooden frames covered in delicate gold leaf.

These pieces typically utilise a hand-carved timber substrate, such as pine or hardwood, coated in a layer of gesso and bole before being meticulously water-gilded or oil-gilded with genuine metal leaf.

Authentic pieces often exhibit age-related characteristics such as foxing and oxidisation within the mercury or silvered glass, hand-carving inconsistencies, and wear to the gesso and gold leaf layers consistent with decades of handling.

Placing such a piece against a deeply coloured or neutral wall creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary minimalism with historical texture and warmth.

Giltwood surfaces are exceptionally fragile; they should be dusted very gently with a dry, soft brush and kept away from direct sunlight, moisture, and chemical cleaners to protect the delicate metallic leaf.
