FAQs

Adam style mirrors are characterised by neoclassical motifs popularised by architect Robert Adam in the late 18th century, featuring classical symmetry, urns, swags, husks, and delicate gilded ornamentation.

19th-century giltwood mirrors feature carved timber frames finished with gesso coats and hand-applied gold leaf, combined with thick silvered or mercury glass plates.

Authentic period mirrors often exhibit natural wear to the gold leaf revealing red or yellow clay bole beneath, alongside period joinery marks, wire-mounted gesso details, and mild foxing to the glass.

Position a tall giltwood mirror in a hallway above a console table or over a fireplace mantel to reflect natural light and create architectural height within contemporary living spaces.

Clean giltwood frames using a dry, soft camel-hair brush to remove dust gently, avoiding water, liquid detergents, and abrasive polishes that damage delicate gold leaf layers.
