FAQs

The Adam style emerged in the 18th century, pioneered by the Adam brothers, drawing heavily on classical Roman architecture, symmetry, and delicate neoclassical motifs.

These pieces are typically constructed from carved timber, such as pine or gesso-coated wood, finished with layers of gold leaf applied over a prepared bole.

Authentication involves examining the hand-carved detailing, the presence of aged or silvered mercury glass, and traditional joinery methods evident on the reverse.

Positioning the mirror above a functional fireplace or a minimalist sideboard creates a striking focal point, balancing historic craftsmanship with modern clean lines.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush and kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the gold leaf from cracking or flaking.
