The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

The Vitruvian scroll, also known as a wave pattern or running dog motif, is a continuous repeating wave pattern derived from classical Greek and Roman architecture. It became widely incorporated into Neoclassical furniture, mirror frames, and architectural mouldings during the eighteenth century.

Traditional frames are typically constructed from softwoods or hardwoods such as pine, oak, or lime wood. The detailed scrollwork is formed through hand-carving or built up using composition ornament before being painted, gilded, or finished with metal leaf.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved details or composition moulding with visible joinery on the rear frame. Signs of original gilding, paint layers, wood shrinkage, and natural oxidisation on the mirror glass silvering help determine era and construction technique.

Positioning a large Vitruvian scroll mirror above a console table or sideboard grounds the linear architecture of a room. Its structured geometric pattern adds visual texture to minimal wall surfaces while reflecting natural light across the space.

Dust the painted frame gently using a soft, dry bristle brush to clean within the recessed scrollwork. Avoid liquid cleaners, harsh detergents, or moist cloths on painted or gilded surfaces to prevent flaking or finish degradation.
