FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors are characterised by sophisticated proportions, intricate carved wooden frames, and often feature traditional water-gilding techniques that create a luminous finish.

These pieces typically utilise a carved wooden base frameoften pine or gesso-coated hardwoodsfinished with applied gold leaf and silvered sheet glass secured with traditional wooden backing boards.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the silvering degradation on the glass plate, hand-cut joinery on the rear frame, and the characteristic craquelure and oxidisation within the gesso and gilt layers.

Placing a large antique mirror opposite a light source enhances room brightness, while contrasting its ornate metallic frame against minimalist or neutral modern walls creates a striking visual balance.

Maintain the piece by dusting gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents entirely to protect the delicate original leaf and aged glass surface.
