FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, the Rococo style is characterised by asymmetrical designs, curving lines, and natural motifs such as shells, flowers, and scrolls, moving away from the heavy symmetry of the Baroque period.

These mirrors typically feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with gesso and gold leaf or gilt paint, housing hand-silvered glass plates held within custom rebates.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as foxing or oxidisation on the mirror plate, shrinkage cracks in the gesso, hand-carved joint details, and historical backing materials like old pine boards.

Pairing an ornate historical mirror with minimalist or contemporary furnishings creates a striking visual contrast, allowing the intricate craftsmanship of the frame to serve as a focal point.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with minimal moisture, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the delicate gilt surface.
