FAQs

Late 18th-century Neoclassical mirrors are defined by symmetrical compositions inspired by classical antiquity. Key design traits include carved ribbon cresting, portrait medallion motifs, leaf swags, fluted side pilasters, and water-gilded timber frames.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved softwoods, such as pine or lime, coated with layers of chalky gesso. Gold leaf was then applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques over hand-blown glass plates.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-carved timber backings with period joinery, slight irregularities in the mirror glass, and subtle wear to the gold leaf revealing red or yellow clay bole underneath.

An antique giltwood mirror can serve as a focal point above a modern sideboard or fireplace mantel, creating a contrast between historical gilding and clean contemporary architectural lines.

Giltwood surfaces should only be dusted gently with a soft, dry feather duster or dry camel-hair brush. Avoid water, chemical cleaners, or liquid polishes, as these can dissolve the water-soluble gesso base and strip the gold leaf.
