FAQs

Victorian mirrors from the 19th century often feature ornate plaster or carved wooden frames, heavy gilding, and romantic motifs influenced by Gothic, Rococo, or Classical revivals.

These frames are typically constructed from softwoods or hardwoods such as pine or gesso-coated composition, finished with gold leaf or metal leaf applied over a bole base.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, oxidisation, foxing, or silver loss on the original glass plate, hand-applied gesso work, and aged timber backing secured with old fixings.

An antique gilt mirror adds warmth and contrast when hung above a minimalist mantelpiece, console table, or paired with contemporary furnishings to create an eclectic focal point.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners which can damage the fragile leaf, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth sprayed sparingly with a mild glass cleaner.
