FAQs

The Adam style emerged in the 18th century, popularised by the Adam brothers, drawing heavy inspiration from classical Roman architecture, symmetry, and delicate ornamentation such as swags, urns, and husks.

These pieces typically utilise a carved wood or composition (gesso) base over a wooden armature, coated in gold leaf or gilt paint, featuring integrated brass or bronze candle arms and silvered glass mirror plates.

Authenticity is generally determined by inspecting the construction techniques, the presence of old hand-silvered or mercurial mirror glass with natural foxing, hand-carved details or period-correct gesso moulding, and age-appropriate oxidation on the metal components.

Interior designers often mount them above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table to amplify light and space, pairing the ornate metallic finish against minimalist or neutral backdrops to create a striking textural contrast.

Gilt surfaces are extremely fragile and sensitive to moisture; they should be cleaned only with a dry, soft ostrich feather duster, avoiding all chemical polishes, water, and abrasive cloths that can damage the delicate gold leaf.
