The Rococo style, originating in 18th-century France, is characterised by asymmetrical designs, C-scrolls, S-scrolls, and naturalistic motifs such as foliage and shells.

These pieces typically feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with gesso and gold leaf or gilt paint, housing mercury or early silvered glass mirror plates.

Authenticity is indicated by foxing or oxidisation on the original glass plate, hand-cut joinery in the wooden frame, and signs of wear consistent with age rather than artificial distressing.

Positioning an ornate mirror against minimalist, neutral walls creates a striking focal point and a balanced contrast between modern simplicity and historical texture.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid commercial chemical cleaners on both the gilt frame and the aged glass to prevent damaging the fragile original surfaces.
