FAQs

A pier mirror is a tall, narrow wall mirror designed historically to fill the masonry space between two windows, known as a pier, to maximize light reflection in a room.

Antique giltwood frames are typically constructed from carved timber coated with gesso plaster, which is then layered with gold leaf applied using water gilding or oil gilding techniques.

Authentic period giltwood frames show hand-carved wood jointing on the reverse, natural surface wear revealing the underlying reddish clay bole beneath the gilding, and minor age-related distortion or foxing in the mirror glass.

A pier mirror can be positioned above a dining room sideboard, placed above a hallway console table, or mounted between tall windows to enhance focal points and bounce light through living spaces.

Maintain giltwood surfaces by dusting gently with a soft microfibre brush; water and chemical solvents must be avoided as they dissolve water-gilded finishes and damage delicate gesso work.
