FAQs

The fragile gilt surface should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush; moisture and chemical cleaners must be avoided entirely to prevent lifting or stripping the delicate gold leaf finish.

Placing a gilded mirror in a modern space adds warmth, texture, and a focal point that contrasts sharply with minimalist lines, enhancing light distribution throughout the room.

Authenticity is indicated by age-related wear to the gilt surface, hand-carved detailing rather than moulded resin, foxing or oxidisation on the original glass plate, and period-appropriate backboards and fixings.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden base, often pine or hardwood, coated in gesso and finished with gold leaf or metallic gilt paint applied by hand.

Late 19th-century mirrors often combine historic revival motifs, such as classical or neoclassical elements, with refined craftsmanship and elaborate ornamentation.
