FAQs

French gilded mirrors gained prominence during the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly under Louis XIV, where master craftsmen used gold leaf to reflect light and signify wealth in royal palaces.

Authentic pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden or gesso frame finished with applied gold leaf, surrounding mercury or early silvered glass plates.

Key indicators of authenticity include hand-carved details, oxidation and foxing on the mirror glass, traditional joinery, and the use of gold leaf rather than modern metallic paint.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror against a minimalist wall creates a striking juxtaposition, balancing contemporary simplicity with historical texture and warmth.

Maintain the frame by gently dusting with a dry, soft brush, avoiding chemical cleaners and excess moisture to protect the fragile gold leaf finish.
