FAQs

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid all liquid cleaners, polishes, and chemical solvents, which can strip the thin layer of gold leaf or damage the underlying gesso.

Placing a large ornate mirror above a fireplace creates a striking focal point, balancing modern minimalist furnishings with historical texture and warmth.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-carved details, traditional gesso application showing micro-crazing, foxing or oxidisation on the original glass plate, and construction hallmarks such as hand-cut screws or pegged joints on the reverse.

Traditional pieces typically feature a carved wooden base, often pine or hardwood, coated in layers of gesso. Gold leaf or gilt paint was then applied by hand over the prepared surface.

Overmantel mirrors rose to prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to be hung or placed on the mantelpiece above a fireplace to reflect candlelight and natural light around the room.
