FAQs

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable indoor humidity to protect the wood and gesso, and cleaning the glass sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth without spraying liquids directly onto the frame or edges.

An antique mirror serves as a striking focal point when hung above a fireplace mantel or positioned opposite a window to amplify natural light, creating a deliberate contrast between contemporary minimalism and historical craftsmanship.

Authenticity is identified through period-appropriate joinery, heavy wooden backboards, oxidisation or foxing on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and hand-carved detailing rather than modern moulded resin.

These pieces are typically constructed using carved wooden frames, often gessoed and gilded with gold leaf or painted finishes. The glass panels are historically silvered by hand, frequently featuring bevelled edges and signs of ageing.

Nineteenth-century French mirrors often draw inspiration from classical motifs, incorporating elaborate carved wooden frames, symmetrical floral details, and traditional gilt finishes that reflect the grandeur of historic European design eras.
