FAQs

French gilded mirrors, particularly those from the 18th and 19th centuries, were crafted during periods of heightened decorative arts development such as the Louis XV and Louis XVI eras, prized for opulent craftsmanship and status display.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-carved wooden frames coated in gesso and meticulously applied gold leaf, holding mercury or early silvered glass panels secured with wooden backing boards.

Authentication involves examining the frame for hand-carved detailing versus moulded composition, checking for genuine gold leaf rather than modern metallic paint, and looking for foxing, oxidisation, and hand-bevelling on the glass plate.

Positioning a large gilded mirror above a fireplace or leaning it against a feature wall adds verticality, reflects natural light, and creates an intentional juxtaposition between historical ornamentation and contemporary minimalism.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight to protect the gilding, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and cleaning the glass sparingly with a soft, lint-free cloth without spraying liquids directly onto the frame or edges.
