FAQs

Mid-19th century French mirrors are characterised by ornate moulded frames, often featuring classical floral motifs and a rich, hand-applied gold leaf or gilt finish.

Authentic period pieces typically utilise a carved wooden base frame, gesso preparation layers, and genuine gold leaf gilding surrounding a hand-silvered mercury or early silver-nitrate glass plate.

Authentication involves examining the rear construction for hand-hewn timbers, old fixings, and traditional gesso cracking, alongside inspecting the glass for age-related foxing, oxidisation, and slight optical distortions.

Placing a large gilded mirror opposite a window maximises natural light, while resting it on the floor against a neutral wall creates a striking focal point that balances contemporary and traditional design elements.

Dust the carved frame gently with a soft, dry brush to protect the delicate gold leaf finish, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with a mild, non-ammonia glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly onto the surface.
