FAQs

A Louis Philippe mirror originates from the reign of King Louis Philippe I of France in the mid-19th century, characterised by clean lines, rounded upper corners, and restrained neoclassical ornamentation.

Traditional gilt mirrors are typically constructed from a carved wooden base, often pine or softwood, layered with gesso and bole before being finished with gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-carved details, traditional joinery, heavy timber backing boards, and original mercury or early silvered glass showing characteristic foxing and oxidisation.

An antique gilt mirror works effectively as a focal point when leaned against a living room wall or mounted above a minimalist fireplace to create a contrast between historical texture and modern decor.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning agents which can damage the delicate gesso and gold leaf finish.
