The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Adam style mirrors are defined by Neoclassical architectural principles popularised in the late eighteenth century, featuring symmetrical proportions, urn motifs, delicate floral husks, and ribbon swags.

Traditional giltwood mirrors consist of a hand-carved timber substrate, coated with layers of gesso and clay bole, topped with applied sheets of fine gold leaf.

Look for indications of hand carving behind the composition, age-related craquelure in the gesso surface, reddish clay bole showing through worn gilding, and original wood backing boards.

Mount the mirror above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantelpiece to create a focal point that bridges traditional decorative art with clean architectural lines.

Dust gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, commercial glass sprays, or chemical polishers that can dissolve traditional gold leaf and gesso.
