FAQs

Antique gilt mirrors typically feature wooden frames coated in a thin layer of gold leaf or metallic paint, often incorporating elaborate carved motifs influenced by periods such as the Baroque, Rococo, or Victorian eras.

These mirrors were traditionally constructed using a carved timber base, such as pine or gesso-coated softwood, finished with gold leaf, composition ornament details, and hand-silvered glass plates.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the backboards, the composition of the gesso, signs of age-related oxidisation or foxing on the mirror plate, and hand-cut joinery within the frame.

Interior designers frequently use matching pairs to create symmetrical focal points above mantelpieces, sideboards, or along hallways to reflect light and enhance spatial depth.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity levels to protect the wood and gesso, and cleaning the glass with a soft, lint-free cloth without spraying liquid directly onto the gilt frame.
