FAQs

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors are characterised by their application of gold leaf or gilt composition onto carved wooden frames, reflecting the ornate aesthetic preferences of the period.

These pieces typically feature hand-carved softwood or hardwood frames, layered with gesso, bole, and gold leaf, holding silvered or mercury glass plates.

Authenticity is assessed through examining the backboards, the type of joinery, hand-applied gesso under the gilding, and the presence of foxing or oxidisation on the original mirror glass.

They can be positioned opposite a window to amplify natural light, or hung above a contemporary console table to create a striking contrast between old and new design elements.

Maintain gilt mirrors by keeping them out of direct sunlight, avoiding liquid cleaners on the fragile gold surface, and dusting gently with a soft, dry brush.
