FAQs

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors often draw inspiration from earlier French and English neoclassical or rococo revivals, characterised by elaborate ornamentation, symmetrical or asymmetrical scrollwork, and prominent crests.

These pieces are typically constructed from hand-carved softwoods or hardwoods, coated in gesso, and meticulously water-gilded or oil-gilded with thin sheets of gold leaf.

Authenticity is determined by examining the ageing of the gesso and gold leaf, the presence of hand-bevelling or slight imperfections in the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and the construction marks on the rear wooden backboards.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror above a modern minimalist mantelpiece or a sleek console table creates a striking focal point through the juxtaposition of contrasting historical and modern design elements.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; avoid all liquid cleaners, harsh chemicals, and abrasive materials which can strip the gold leaf.
