FAQs

Louis XVI style ribbon mirrors feature symmetrical oval or rectangular frames adorned with cresting motifs like bow-knot ribbons, garland swags, and beaded borders. Popularised in 18th-century France, this Neoclassical aesthetic emphasised refined elegance and classical proportions.

Traditional gilt mirrors were constructed using carved wood or molded composition material applied over a timber substrate. The frame was coated in gesso and clay before micro-thin gold leaf was applied using water-gilding or oil-gilding techniques.

Authentic antique gilt mirrors typically show age-related wear, such as gentle distressing revealing the red or grey clay bole beneath the gold leaf. The glass may exhibit mild oxidisation or speckling, and the back usually features hand-sawn timber backing panels.

A gilt oval mirror works as a focal point when placed above a modern console table, fireplace mantelpiece, or vanity. The warm metallic frame and ornate cresting create textural contrast against neutral walls or deep paint finishes.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaners that can dissolve traditional gilding. Clean the glass carefully with a slightly dampened cloth, ensuring liquid does not seep under the frame edges.
