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

French Baroque mirrors are characterised by dynamic curvilinear silhouettes, dramatic symmetry, and elaborate hand-carved ornamentation such as acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and central crestings. Originating during the reign of Louis XIV, the style emphasizes grandeur, deep relief carving, and rich gold leaf gilding.

Traditional giltwood frames are carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso clay, and finished with fine gold leaf applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques. The reflective glass in historical examples often features mercury or silver backing.

Authentic giltwood mirrors display natural wear to the gold leaf, often revealing the reddish-brown or grey clay bole base beneath. Inspection of the reverse side typically shows hand-sawn timber backing, hand-carved joinery marks, and appropriate age-related oxidisation on the mirror plate.

An ornate giltwood mirror serves as a prominent focal point when positioned above a minimalist console table, a fireplace mantel, or within a hallway. Positioning the mirror opposite windows maximizes light distribution and adds textural contrast against neutral or dark contemporary painted walls.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solvents that can dissolve the water-gilded gesso. The glass should be cleaned by spraying glass cleaner directly onto a cloth rather than the mirror itself to prevent fluid seeping behind the frame.
