FAQs

French Chateau style mirrors are characterised by ornate carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf or gesso, often featuring classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, shells, and scrolls reflecting eighteenth-century design influences.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from a carved timber base, such as pine or softwood, coated with layers of gesso. Fine gold leaf or composition metal is then applied to the surface and burnished to achieve a lustrous metallic finish.

Authentication involves examining the ground layers for age-related cracking, known as craquelure, inspecting the hand-carved details for tool marks, and checking the reverse of the frame for period-appropriate fixings and timber oxidation.

Placing an ornate metallic mirror within a contemporary space introduces texture and historical contrast, serving as a focal point that bounces natural light across minimalist or neutral rooms.

Giltwood frames require gentle maintenance using a dry, soft brush to remove dust. Moisture and chemical cleaning agents must be avoided to prevent damage to the delicate gesso and metallic leaf layers.
