FAQs

French Rococo design is characterised by asymmetrical curves, elaborate scrollwork, floral motifs, and a lighthearted, organic aesthetic that emerged in the 18th century and experienced revivals throughout the 19th century.

Traditional gilding typically involves applying thin sheets of gold leaf over a prepared gesso and bole base on a carved wooden frame, often crafted from pine, oak, or fruitwood.

Authentic pieces often show signs of age such as foxing on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-carved wooden construction rather than resin, and crazing or wear within the gesso layers.

Positioning a large antique mirror against a neutral wall allows the ornate gold frame to act as a focal point, reflecting natural light and creating a striking juxtaposition between contemporary minimalism and historical craftsmanship.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate; they should be cleaned only with a dry, soft feather duster, avoiding all liquids, chemical cleaning agents, and abrasive cloths to prevent stripping the gold leaf.
