FAQs

The Louis Philippe style emerged in France during the mid-19th century, characterised by clean, understated lines, gentle curves, and a departure from the heavy ornamentation of the Restoration period.

These pieces were typically constructed from gesso over a wooden frame, finished with gold leaf or metallic paint, and housed original mercury-backed or hand-silvered glass plates.

Authentic pieces often exhibit foxing on the glass, handmade timber joinery at the rear, and hand-applied gesso mouldings that show age-appropriate oxidisation and wear.

Pairing a traditional gilt frame with minimalist modern furniture creates a striking focal point, often hung above a fireplace or propped against a wall to add verticality and reflected light.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft brush to protect the delicate gilt surface, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with a mild, alcohol-free solution to prevent moisture damage.
