FAQs

Originating in the 18th century, Rococo giltwood mirrors feature ornate asymmetrical scrolls, acanthus leaf carvings, floral motifs, and pierced fretwork frames.

Traditional giltwood mirrors were crafted by carving softwoods such as pine or lime, applying layers of gesso plaster, and laying thin sheets of gold leaf over red or yellow bole clay.

Authentic pieces typically display natural wear to the gilding showing underlying gesso or bole, hand-carved backboard construction, and foxing on original glass panels.

A carved gilt mirror functions as a focal point above a fireplace mantelpiece, positioned opposite windows to reflect natural light, or suspended above a hallway console table.

Dust gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical liquid cleaners which dissolve water gilding and degrade gesso foundations.
