FAQs

Victorian mirrors often reflect historical revivalism, incorporating classical architectural motifs such as columns, friezes, and heavily ornamented gilded frames influenced by earlier periods like the Regency and Baroque eras.

These frames were typically constructed from softwood or hardwood substrates, coated with gesso, and meticulously hand-gilded with gold leaf or finished with gold paint, often featuring applied composition ornaments for detailed relief work.

Authenticity is generally determined by inspecting the backboards, the type of screws or fixings used, the presence of mercury or early silvering on the glass plate, and the natural age-related craquelure and oxidisation within the gesso and gilt layers.

Placing a large antique mirror in a contemporary setting creates a striking focal point, reflecting natural light and adding a layer of historical texture that contrasts effectively with minimalist lines and neutral colour palettes.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry artists brush to avoid damaging the delicate gilt surface, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
