FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in 18th-century France, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic motifs such as foliage and shells, and a sense of theatrical movement, marking a departure from the strict symmetry of earlier periods.

Traditional frames are carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, then coated with gesso and layered with gold leaf or metal leaf before burnishing to achieve a lustrous finish.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-carved wooden frames showing age-related wear, mercury or early silvered glass with oxidisation spots, and hand-bevelled edges that display minor irregularities.

Positioning the mirror above a minimalist mantelpiece or clean-lined console table creates a striking contrast that highlights its historical craftsmanship while maintaining a balanced interior.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should be dusted gently with a dry, soft brush; liquid cleaners and abrasive cloths must be avoided to prevent damage to the metallic leaf.
