FAQs

Nineteenth-century giltwood mirrors frequently feature hand-carved wooden frames coated in thin layers of gold leaf, often exhibiting classical motifs derived from Regency, Victorian, or revival aesthetics.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from pine, gesso, and carved wood, finished with water gilding or oil gilding using genuine gold leaf applied over a prepared bole base.

Authenticity is generally identified by the presence of hand-applied gesso shrinkage cracks, foxing and oxidisation within the mirror plate, and hand-carved joinery visible on the reverse of the wooden frame.

Positioning a large round giltwood mirror above a contemporary sideboard or mantelpiece creates a striking focal point by contrasting ornate historical craftsmanship with minimalist modern lines.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush and kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the fragile gold leaf and underlying gesso from flaking.
