FAQs

Early Georgian mirrors dating from the early 18th century typically feature hand-carved pine frames finished with water gilding, often featuring architectural crestings, scrollwork, and bird motifs inspired by Classical and Baroque design.

Frames were predominantly constructed from carved pinewood or walnut, overlaid with gesso and gold leaf gilding, housing hand-blown mercury glass plates.

Authentic period mirrors display hand-carved backboards, irregular bevels on original glass plates, natural foxing, and subtle wear or oxidisation to the water-gilded surface.

Positioning a carved giltwood mirror above a contemporary console table or mantelpiece creates a striking visual contrast that anchors a room with historic texture.

Gilded wood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush; avoid using liquid cleaners or water, which can dissolve the underlying gesso composition.
