FAQs

French antique mirrors, particularly from the 18th and 19th centuries, are characterised by ornate hand-carved wooden frames, gesso ornamentation, and often feature classical motifs such as acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and crests.

Authentic pieces typically utilise a carved wooden base frame coated in gessoa mixture of plaster and binderwhich is then layered with gold leaf or metal leaf. The glass is often mercury or heavily silvered with distinct bevelled edges.

Authentication involves examining the rear construction for hand-hewn timbers, inspecting the glass for foxing, oxidation, and imperfections, and verifying that the gilt layer shows natural ageing and wear rather than uniform chemical distressing.

A large statement mirror can be left unfixed and leaned against a plain wall to create a sense of height and light, contrasting the historical ornamentation with minimalist surroundings.

Dust the frame gently with a very soft, dry brush, avoiding all chemical cleaners, water, or abrasive cloths which can permanently damage the delicate gold leaf or gesso finish.
