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.

Baroque style mirrors feature intricate, heavy relief carving with motifs such as acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and cresting pediments. Developed during the seventeenth century, the style emphasizes dramatic curves, symmetry, and rich gilded finishes designed to reflect candlelight.

Traditional frames were carved from timber, coated with layers of gesso, and sanded to a smooth finish before applying a clay base called bole. Gold leaf was then carefully applied using water or oil gilding techniques and burnished to create highlights.

Authentic giltwood displays natural wear on raised areas, revealing the underlying red or yellow bole and white gesso. The back of the frame typically shows hand-hewn wood joinery, while the glass may exhibit subtle oxidation spots consistent with historic silvering methods.

A pair of carved mirrors can be hung symmetrically above twin consoles, flanking a fireplace mantel, or positioned along a corridor. Placing ornate gilded pieces against plain or dark walls creates contrasting focal points while increasing reflected ambient light.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently using a soft, dry feather duster or camel-hair brush. Water, chemical solvents, and commercial polish must be avoided, as moisture causes gesso to lift and gold leaf to rub off.
