FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, Rococo giltwood mirrors feature ornate, asymmetrical scrollwork, acanthus leaf motifs, and fluid, naturalistic curves.

These mirrors were typically crafted from carved wood or moulded gesso over a timber frame, which was then coated with red bole and finished with hand-applied gold leaf.

Look for signs of age such as natural wear to the gilding revealing the underlying red bole or white gesso, mercury glass silvering irregularities, and original timber backboards.

Position the mirror above a contemporary fireplace mantel or sleek sideboard to create an engaging contrast between historical ornamentation and modern minimalist lines.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster, avoiding liquid cleaners or damp cloths which can strip delicate gold leaf.
