Description

This is a fantastic piece. The Louis Philippe style (popularized in the mid-19th century) is characterized by its "rounded shoulders" at the top and a clean, understated elegance that bridges the gap between the ornate Baroque period and the cleaner lines of the 20th century.

Because it is silver-gilded rather than the more common gold, it has a aesthetic that makes it particularly popular for contemporary homes.

Silver Gilded. Unlike standard silver paint, this involves the application of thin silver leaf over a "bole" (clay base), often showing hints of the red or grey undertones where the leaf has worn thin over time.

There is a light patina or of the silver, which gives the piece its antique quality. The glass plate also has some marks showing its age and authenticity.

FAQs

The Louis Philippe style, popular in mid-19th-century France, is characterised by understated elegance, simple rectilinear forms with softly rounded top corners, and minimal ornamentation compared to earlier extravagant periods.

These frames are typically constructed from pine or fruitwood, featuring applied gesso and leaf gilding or silvering, often housing original mercury glass plates with characteristic foxing.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as hand-beveled glass, oxidisation spots (foxing) on the mercury backing, old pine or oak backboards held by handmade nails, and minor wear to the gilding.

Leaning a large antique mirror against a living room or bedroom wall adds verticality and reflects natural light, creating a sophisticated contrast against contemporary minimalist architecture.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft brush and clean the glass sparingly using a microfibre cloth and a neutral cleaner, avoiding any moisture contact with the aged edges of the mirror plate.
