FAQs

A Louis Philippe mirror originates from the mid-19th-century French reign of King Louis Philippe I, characterised by restrained neoclassical proportions, subtly rounded upper corners, and often framed in giltwood or gesso.

Authentic period frames are constructed from carved wood, often pine or gesso-coated timber, finished with applied gold leaf or metallic paint, and house original mercury or silvered sheet glass.

Authenticity is indicated by historical construction markers such as hand-carved joinery, heavy timber backing boards secured with old nails, foxing or oxidisation within the mirror plate, and subtle wear to the original gilding.

To integrate the piece into modern schemes, lean it casually against a wall above a minimalist floor console or hang it as a focal point to reflect natural light and create spatial depth.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding moisture or harsh chemicals that can strip delicate gold leaf, and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth and diluted vinegar.
