FAQs

Nineteenth-century giltwood mirrors frequently draw upon earlier Baroque and Rococo revivals, characterised by elaborate, nature-inspired carvings and a brilliant metallic finish applied via gold leaf.

These frames are typically crafted from carved timber such as pine or gesso-coated softwood, hand-gilded with gold leaf, and fitted with hand-silvered sheet glass featuring bevelled or flat edges.

Authenticity is indicated by historical indicators such as hand-carved detailing with minor tool marks, oxidised or foxed mercury or silver backing on the glass, and aged pine backing boards secured with period fixings.

Such a mirror serves as a striking focal point when mounted above a contemporary fireplace mantel or utilised to bounce natural light in a minimalist hallway, contrasting historic ornamentation with clean modern lines.

Preserve the fragile gold leaf surface by dusting lightly with a dry, soft ostrich feather duster and avoiding all chemical cleaning agents, water, and direct sunlight.
