FAQs

A gesso wall mirror features a wooden frame coated with gesso, a smooth mixture of plaster, chalk, and binder. This material allows artisans to mould intricate relief patterns, such as fruit, flowers, and scrollwork, prior to painting or gilding.

Traditional gesso frames consist of a carved wooden base, coated with multiple layers of chalk or gypsum mixed with animal hide glue, then decorated with paints, gold leaf, or polychrome glazes.

Authentic antique gesso frames often show fine age cracking known as craquelure, subtle chips revealing the white plaster beneath the surface finish, and handmade joins in the underlying timber frame.

An oval gesso mirror works well hung above a hallway console table, a bedroom dressing table, or a dining room sideboard to add texture, historical depth, and natural light reflection.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft, dry bristle brush or microfibre cloth, ensuring no liquid cleaners touch the gesso, as moisture can dissolve the water-soluble binder underneath.
