The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mirrors from this era drawing on Louis XVI revival influences typically feature neoclassic motifs such as ribbon bow crestings, floral garlands, and beaded mouldings. They frequently combine painted wood surfaces with burnished gilding on raised details.

Frames were primarily constructed from carved softwood or pine covered with gesso, a smooth plaster-like substrate. Decorative details were sculpted or cast in composition material before gold leaf was applied to raised elements and paint to recessed areas.

Authentic period mirrors exhibit natural signs of age on the reverse, such as darkened wood backboards and hand-cut nails. The mirror plate often shows slight silvering degradation or foxing, while gilded areas display subtle wear revealing the underlying gesso or bole.

A painted French mirror serves as a classic focal point when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, hallway console table, or dining room sideboard. Its light frame colour bridges traditional carving with contemporary minimalist palettes.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft feather duster, avoiding liquids or chemical spray cleaners on the gilding and gesso. Clean the mirror glass carefully using a lightly dampened microfiber cloth, ensuring moisture does not touch the painted edge.
