FAQs

Characterised by clean profiles, rounded upper corners, and squared lower corners, Louis Philippe style mirrors emerged during the mid-19th century in France. They typically feature gold leaf or silver leaf finishes over gesso and wood mouldings, often embellished with subtle floral motifs.

These mirrors were constructed using solid softwood frames coated with layers of gesso plaster. Gold leaf was applied using traditional water gilding or oil gilding techniques, paired with glass silvered using mercury or silver nitrate.

Authentic period examples feature hand-planed wood backboards, natural foxing or oxidisation spots on the mirror glass, and natural wear on the gilding that reveals the reddish clay bole base layer beneath.

A gilded mirror can be positioned above a fireplace, placed over a dining room sideboard, or leaned against a focal wall to introduce warm metallic tones and texture in contrast with contemporary furnishings.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre feather duster. Avoid liquids, water, or commercial cleaners on the frame, as moisture can dissolve the traditional gesso and lift the gold leaf.
