FAQs

The Louis Philippe style emerged in France during the mid-19th century, characterised by understated elegance, clean architectural lines, and subtle neoclassical influences without excessive ornamentation.

Authentic period mirrors feature frames crafted from timber such as pine or oak, coated in layers of gesso, and meticulously hand-gilded with gold leaf or metal leaf.

Authenticity is indicated by heavy, old glass with minor foxing, hand-applied gesso showing shrinkage cracks, tongue-and-groove or pegged frame construction, and aged backing boards.

Leaning a large gilded mirror casually against a living room wall adds verticality and reflects natural light, creating a sophisticated balance between historical texture and modern minimalism.

Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaning agents, water, or abrasive materials, which can easily damage the delicate historic gesso and gold leaf.
