FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in 18th-century France, is characterised by asymmetrical C-scrolls, S-scrolls, floral motifs, and a general move away from heavy baroque symmetry towards lighter, more organic rococo curves.

These mirrors are typically constructed from carved softwood or hardwood frames, coated with gesso, and finished using water gilding or oil gilding with thin sheets of gold leaf.

Authentic pieces often show hand-carved details with minor irregularities, hand-applied gesso layers, foxing or oxidisation on the mercury or silvered glass plate, and traditional joinery on the reverse frame.

Leaning a large ornate mirror casually against a wall introduces verticality and reflects natural light, creating a striking contrast when paired with minimalist or contemporary furnishings.

Gilt surfaces are extremely fragile; they should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth without using water, chemical sprays, or abrasive cleaners that can strip the gold leaf.
