FAQs

French giltwood mirrors, particularly from the 18th and 19th centuries, are characterised by intricate carved wooden frames coated in thin gold leaf or gesso, often featuring rococo or neoclassical motifs.

These pieces typically utilise a solid timber base such as pine or oak, hand-carved or moulded with gesso, and finished with gold leaf applied over a bole layer. Traditional joinery and mercury or silvered sheet glass are often found in older examples.

Authenticity is indicated by historical wear patterns, foxing or oxidisation in the glass plate, hand-cut components in the frame construction, and traditional gesso application rather than modern synthetic resin.

Placing a large leaner mirror against a neutral wall introduces verticality, reflects natural light, and creates a focal point that contrasts contemporary minimalism with historic texture.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding any liquid cleaners, moisture, or chemical solvents that could damage the delicate gold leaf finish.
