FAQs

Originating during the reign of King George III in Britain, these mirrors typically feature carved softwood frames embellished with Rococo C-scrolls, acanthus foliage, and pierced openwork finished with gold leaf coating.

Craftsmen carved the structural frame from timber, applied multiple layers of chalk-based gesso, re-carved fine details into the dry gesso, and laid thin leaves of gold over a clay bole background.

Authentic pieces show hand-carved timber backings, mercury glass displaying natural oxidisation or foxing, and historic wear where the underlying clay bole shows through worn areas of gilding.

Positioning an ornate giltwood mirror above a contemporary console table or architectural mantelpiece creates a balanced focal point, juxtaposing historic detail with modern minimalism.

Dust the frame lightly using a dry ostrich feather duster or soft brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or cloths that can dissolve delicate water gilding and gesso.
