FAQs

The Regency and Adam styles draw heavily on neoclassical principles, featuring symmetrical proportions, classical motifs such as urns and ribbands, and elegant gilded frames designed to enhance light reflection in formal rooms.

Authentic period frames are typically constructed from carved timber, such as pine or gesso-coated hardwoods, finished with genuine gold leaf applied over a bole layer. Mirror plates from this era often exhibit slight foxing and hand-silvering characteristics.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the construction of the wooden backboards, the presence of hand-cut nails or screws, the depth and character of the gesso application, and natural oxidisation patterns within the glass plate.

Positioning an ornate classical mirror against a minimalist backdrop creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary clean lines with historical texture and warmth.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted lightly with a dry, soft feather duster. Moisture, chemical cleaners, and abrasive cloths must be strictly avoided to prevent stripping the gold leaf.
