FAQs

Originating in eighteenth-century France during the reign of Louis XV, Rococo style features elaborate scrollwork, acanthus leaves, asymmetrical curves, and floral motifs. Frames were typically constructed from carved wood or molded gesso, finished with gold leaf gilding or painted surfaces.

Traditional frames were crafted using carved softwood or lime wood coated in layers of gesso plaster. Gold leaf was applied using water or oil gilding techniques over red or yellow bole, while the reflective surface comprised silvered or mercury-backed glass.

Authentic period examples demonstrate hand-carved wooden joinery, natural wear or oxidisation on the gilded gesso surface, and irregularities or foxing in the mirror glass. The reverse usually reveals hand-sawn wooden backboards secured with forged nails.

A Rococo mirror can be placed above a contemporary sideboard or fireplace mantel to create visual contrast between historical ornamentation and clean architectural lines. Mounting the frame against neutral or muted painted walls highlights the detailed cream and gold tones.

Dust the frame lightly using a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solutions on gilded gesso. Clean the mirror glass separately by dampening a cloth directly rather than spraying solution onto the frame edge.
