The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Traditional French gilt mirrors typically feature carved timber frames adorned with plaster ornamentation and finished with hand-applied gold leaf, prominent during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These mirrors were constructed using pine or oak timber backing, gesso ground preparations, fine gold leaf foil, and silvered or mercury glass mirror plates.

Authentic period pieces display signs of age such as gentle oxidation or foxing on the glass plate, layered wooden backboards, and red or grey clay bole showing through worn gilding.

Placing a gilded mirror above a sleek modern console table or minimalist fireplace mantelpiece creates a striking visual contrast while reflecting natural light throughout the room.

Dust the ornate frame lightly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning products which can dissolve water-based gesso and damage the gold leaf.
