FAQs

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate and sensitive to moisture; they should only be dusted gently with a soft, dry ostrich feather duster, avoiding all chemical solvents, abrasive cloths, and excess water to prevent stripping the gold leaf.

Pairing a heavily ornamented gold mirror with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast that adds historical depth, architectural interest, and a sense of vertical scale to a contemporary room scheme.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the construction of the wooden backboards, the type of gesso application, hand-tooled detailing, and natural signs of ageing such as foxing on the mirror plate and micro-cracking in the gesso surface.

Authentic period mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden or composition base layered with gesso, which was then hand-gilt with gold leaf. The glass itself is often heavy, silvered plate glass with subtle bevels or minor oxidation indicative of age.

An overmantel mirror is a large-scale looking glass traditionally designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace, becoming popular in interior design during the 18th and 19th centuries to reflect candlelight and amplify light in formal reception rooms.
