FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in 18th-century France during the Rococo period, is characterised by asymmetry, curved lines, and naturalistic motifs such as shells, flowers, and scrolls, moving away from the rigid geometry of the preceding reign.

Traditional antique mirrors from this era typically feature a carved wooden base, often pine or gesso-coated hardwoods, hand-gilded with gold leaf or metal leaf, housing hand-silvered glass plates with bevelled edges.

Authenticity is determined by examining the construction joints, the presence of aged gesso beneath worn gilding, hand-carved details rather than cast resin, and mercury or early silvering oxidation on the glass plate.

Positioning a large ornate mirror against a neutral wall or above a simple fireplace creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary minimalism with historical texture and reflecting light to enhance spatial depth.

Maintain gilded surfaces by gently dusting with a soft, dry brush, avoiding all liquid cleaners or chemical solvents that can strip the delicate gold leaf, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and humidity.
