These late 19th-century Victorian wall mirrors are formed of giltwood, glass, metal, and composition in a gold finish, taking inspiration from a French Chateau style. Each piece incorporates an arched top with egg-and-dart moulding along the frame, fixed hardware hanging loops at the apex, and integrated twin candle arms at the base holding carved candle holders. The visible details include gilded surfaces and contoured frames. Each mirror measures 54 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. Such fixtures suit placement on a narrow wall space within a hallway, drawing room, or bedroom to reflect light and provide ambient candle illumination. They are mounted directly to vertical surfaces in traditional home interiors.

FAQs

A girandole mirror is a decorative wall-mounted mirror designed with attached sconces or branches to hold candles. Popular from the eighteenth century onwards, the mirror plate reflects the flickering candlelight to increase illumination in low-lit rooms.

Late nineteenth-century mirrors were typically crafted from carved timber or cast composition (compo) over a wooden frame, finished with gold leaf or metallic gilding. The candle arms were often cast in brass or bronze, fitted with silvered or early plate glass mirrors.

Authentic period pieces show signs of age such as gentle wear to the gold leaf, underlying red or grey bole clay showing through high points, dark foxing or desilverization on the mirror glass, and traditional wooden backboards secured with old nails.

Place a pair of girandole mirrors on either side of a larger central feature, such as a fireplace mantelpiece, headboard, or large artwork. Their narrow vertical orientation makes them suited for framing doorways or dressing narrow alcoves.

Dust gilt surfaces gently using a soft, dry bristle brush or feather duster, avoiding water or liquid chemical cleaners which can lift the delicate gold leaf. Glass should be cleaned by spraying cleaner onto a microfibre cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to prevent liquid seeping behind the frame.
