FAQs

Neoclassical mirrors from the late eighteenth century reflect a revival of classical Greek and Roman design principles, featuring symmetrical forms, delicate husk swags, urn finials, acanthus leaves, and fluted mouldings.

These mirrors were typically hand-carved from softwoods like pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso, and finished using water gilding with fine gold leaf over a clay bole base.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved wood beneath the gesso, subtle wear to the gold leaf revealing the reddish bole layer underneath, original dark pine backing boards, and light oxidisation or grey spotting on the silvered glass plate.

Position the mirror above a modern fireplace mantelpiece or a sleek side cabinet to allow the intricate gold carving to contrast elegantly against neutral or deep wall tones.

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp cloths which can dissolve water-gesso finishes and cause gold leaf to lift.
