FAQs

Authentication involves examining the mirror plate for age-related oxidation, foxing, and imperfections, as well as inspecting the timber backing, fixings, and the composition of the gesso layer for signs of age.

Placing an antique gilt mirror in a contemporary room creates a striking focal point, often hung above a fireplace mantelpiece or positioned opposite a window to maximise natural light and spatial depth.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush. Moisture and chemical cleaners must be avoided to prevent damage to the fragile gold leaf or gesso layers.

Authentic period pieces typically utilise a carved wooden or moulded composition frame over a timber backing, finished with water gilding or oil gilding on a gesso layer, holding a hand-silvered glass plate.

Victorian mirrors often feature heavy ornamentation, classical revival motifs, and elaborate frames crafted from wood, plaster, or composition material finished with gold leaf or gilt paint.
