FAQs

Girandole mirrors, featuring attached candle sconces, gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries as functional and decorative pieces designed to amplify candlelight in dimly lit rooms.

These mirrors typically feature carved wood or composition frames coated in gold leaf or gilt, fitted with mirrored glass and brass or metal candle arms fixed securely to the base of the frame.

Authentic pieces often display period-appropriate hand-carving, traditional mercury or early silvered glass with natural foxing, and old construction fixings such as hand-cut screws or traditional joinery.

Position them opposite windows to maximise natural light or mount them symmetrically on either side of a fireplace or doorway to create a striking focal point and balance the room.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft brush to protect the delicate gilt surface, and clean the glass sparingly with a microfibre cloth and a neutral cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals near the gilding.
