FAQs

Edwardian design, spanning from 1901 to 1910, often combined influences from earlier periods such as Neoclassicism, Sheraton, and Chippendale, favouring lighter, more refined proportions compared to heavy Victorian aesthetics.

These pieces were typically constructed from carved wood or composition ornament applied to a wooden base, finished with a layer of metallic leaf using traditional water gilding or oil gilding techniques.

Authenticity can be determined by examining the backboards, fixings, and the composition of the glass, which often exhibits minor imperfections, foxing, or slight oxidation consistent with age.

An ornate gilt mirror acts as a strong focal point and can be used to bounce natural light around a room, creating an effective contrast when paired with minimalist modern furnishings and neutral wall colours.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush without using water or chemical solvents, while the glass can be cleaned sparingly with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the mirror.
