FAQs

Arts and Crafts mirrors from the nineteenth century emphasize structural honesty, simple geometric forms, and handcrafted detailing rather than excessive rococo ornamentation. Framing often features exposed joinery motifs, linear moldings, and stylized floral or geometric bosses.

These mirrors were constructed using solid carved wood or pine sub-frames coated in layers of gesso plaster. Fine gold leaf was applied via water or oil gilding, surrounding heavy plate glass.

Authentic nineteenth-century mirrors show hand-cut timber backing boards, natural age-related oxidisation or light distress to the mirror plate, and subtle wear through the gilding revealing red or yellow bole beneath the gesso.

Place the mirror above a modern or period fireplace mantelpiece to act as a focal point. The reflective surface introduces light into the room, while the gold tones contrast effectively against both neutral and dark painted wall surfaces.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft feather duster or soft lint-free cloth. Avoid water, commercial spray cleaners, or solvents, as moisture dissolves gesso and damages delicate gold leaf.
