FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, moving away from rococo asymmetry towards classical restraint, symmetry, straight lines, and neoclassical motifs such as ribbons, urns, and bead-and-reel carvings.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from carved wood, such as pine or oak, finished with water gilding or oil gilding using genuine gold leaf applied over a prepared gesso and bole base.

Authentication involves inspecting the mirror plate for historical imperfections, foxing, and silver degradation, alongside examining the hand-carved gesso details, wood shrinkage, and old joinery methods on the reverse.

An antique gilt mirror works effectively as a focal point when contrasted against minimalist walls, or positioned above a modern fireplace mantel to create a balanced dialogue between historical craftsmanship and contemporary design.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted lightly with a soft, dry ostrich feather duster, avoiding all chemical cleaning products, excessive moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent cracking or flaking of the gold leaf.
