FAQs

Ripple moulding features a repetitive wave-like profile machined or carved into the wood frame, popular during the 17th century and later revived in 19th-century European furniture design.

These frames are traditionally crafted from timber, gesso-coated, and painstakingly applied with thin sheets of metallic leaf or silver leaf to achieve a luminous, reflective finish.

Authenticity is typically assessed by examining the ageing of the mirror plate, hand-cut construction joints, wood shrinkage, and the characteristic oxidation patterns within the silvering.

Placing a reflective piece of this scale opposite a window maximises natural light, while the metallic finish bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist aesthetics.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or moisture, which can degrade the delicate metallic leaf and historic finish.
