FAQs

French marriage mirrors, or miroir de mariage, were traditionally given as wedding gifts in the 18th century, often symbolising union and prosperity with motifs like love knots and floral carvings.

These mirrors are typically constructed from hand-carved softwoods or hardwoods, coated with layers of gesso, and finished with a layer of gold leaf applied over a red bole base.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved details with subtle irregularities, original mercury glass with characteristic oxidisation spots, and an aged red bole showing beneath worn gold leaf.

An antique giltwood mirror can serve as a striking focal point when hung above a minimalist mantelpiece or console table, creating a deliberate contrast between historic ornate craftsmanship and modern clean lines.

Giltwood surfaces should be cleaned only with a dry, soft feather duster or a very soft brush, avoiding any moisture, chemical solvents, or abrasive cloths that can damage the delicate gold leaf.
