FAQs

Ripple moulding features a series of parallel, wave-like ridges carved into the wood frame, a technique often utilised in 17th-century and later revival frames to create intricate texture and depth.

Traditional gilt mirrors are typically constructed from a carved wood or gesso-on-wood base, finished with a layer of metallic leaf such as gold leaf applied over a bole primer.

Authentic period mirrors often exhibit hand-beveled glass with minor foxing, hand-carved joinery in the frame, and historical backing materials such as old pine boards or hand- forged fixings.

Positioning a large antique mirror opposite a window maximises natural light, while leaning it casually against a neutral wall introduces a contrasting layer of texture and historic character to contemporary spaces.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush; moisture and chemical cleaners must be avoided entirely to prevent lifting the metallic leaf.
