Description

A pair of 19th century giltwood mirrors, oval in shape with moulded and beaded frames and plain mirror plates, c1860. The mirrors are a nice size and are ready to hang…

Condition: The mirror on the left in the photos has a small area of loss to the moulding in the lower left quarter of the frame, but is otherwise in good condition. The mirror on the right has multiple area of loss/damage to the moulding on the frame, mostly in the top left quarter and the two to four o’clock position on the right. The damaged areas aren’t immediately obvious as the colour has been blended in, but can be seen on close inspection. I have tried to show these in the photos. Both mirrors have some minor flaws in the mirror plates which are very difficult to get photos of - these are mainly small blemishes but the right hand mirror has a faint vertical line on the right hand side of the plate.

Dimensions:

The mirrors have very slight discrepancies in size. One measures 57.2cm tall, 46.8cm wide and 2.3cm deep, the other measures 56.5cm tall, 46.5cm wide and 2.3cm deep.

Free UK delivery - the item will be sent using a tracked and signed for service. If you would like a quote for delivery elsewhere please get in touch.

Antique gilt mirrors typically feature carved wood or composition frames coated in a thin layer of gold leaf or gold paint, spanning various historical design periods from the Georgian era to the mid-twentieth century.

Traditional construction often involves a hand-carved wooden base or moulded gesso on pine, finished with gold leaf applied over a bole layer, housing silvered or mercury glass plates.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the backing boards, hand-cut screws or nails, the presence of foxing or oxidisation in the mirror glass, and the hand-applied nature of the gilt finish.

These mirrors can be hung symmetrically above a mantelpiece or console table, or incorporated into a gallery wall to reflect light and add a touch of classic metallic warmth to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and never applying liquid cleaners directly to the gilt surface or the edges of the glass.
