FAQs

Late 19th-century French mirrors frequently feature classical motifs, scrolling foliage, and heavily ornamented crests reflecting the revival of traditional artisan techniques during the period.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from hand-carved wood, such as pine or gesso-covered softwood, finished with applied gold leaf or gilding over a bole base.

Authentication involves inspecting the mercury or silver backing for natural oxidisation, checking for hand-cut joinery in the wooden frame, and observing the craquelure in the gesso.

Leaning a large gilded mirror against a plain wall creates a striking focal point that contrasts effectively with minimalist modern architecture and neutral colour palettes.

Dusting should be performed gently using a soft, dry ostrich feather duster, avoiding any liquid cleaners, abrasive cloths, or chemical solvents that could damage the delicate gold leaf.
