FAQs

Giltwood mirrors became prominent during the 17th and 18th centuries in European royal courts, where artisans applied thin sheets of gold leaf to carved wooden frames to reflect light and display status.

Authentic pieces typically feature a hand-carved soft wood or gesso substrate coated in bole, to which metallic gold leaf is meticulously applied and burnished.

Authentication involves examining the frame for hand-carving tool marks, assessing the composition for age-related micro-cracking in the gesso, and checking the mirror glass for oxidation, silvering irregularities, and bevelled edges.

Pairing a highly ornate gold frame with minimalist contemporary furniture creates a striking visual contrast, drawing the eye and adding warmth, texture, and historical depth to modern spaces.

Maintain gilt mirrors by dusting gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, keeping them away from direct sunlight, and avoiding chemical cleaners or moisture which can damage the delicate gold leaf.
