FAQs

The Louis XV style, emerging in 18th-century France, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, natural motifs such as acanthus leaves and shells, and a rejection of heavy geometric rigidity in favour of graceful, flowing lines.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-carved wooden frames made from pine, oak, or fruitwood, layered with gesso to create intricate relief mouldings, often finished with paint, gilt, or leafing, and paired with hand-silvered glass.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the backboards, joinery, the type of gesso and paint wear, and the characteristics of the mirror plate, which often exhibits foxing, slight distortions, and hand-beveled edges indicative of historical manufacturing techniques.

An antique French mirror can serve as a striking focal point when hung above a modern minimalist console table, or propped casually against a wall on a mantelpiece to introduce historical texture, contrast, and reflected light into a contemporary space.

Preservation requires keeping the mirror away from direct sunlight and high humidity to protect the fragile gesso and vintage silvering. Clean the glass sparingly with a soft microfibre cloth and alcohol-free glass cleaner, taking care not to let moisture seep behind the frame.
