FAQs

The Louis Philippe style emerged in France during the reign of King Louis-Philippe in the mid-19th century, characterised by understated elegance, clean lines, and subtle neoclassical influences that moved away from the heavy ornamentation of the Restoration period.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from a wooden base, such as pine or oak, which is then covered in gesso and finished with delicate gold leaf or bole, often featuring pegged corner joints and hand-beveled glass plates.

Authentication involves examining the reverse for old pine backing boards, checking for hand-applied gesso and genuine leaf gilding with natural oxidisation, and inspecting the mirror glass for mercury silvering or slight imperfections consistent with historical manufacturing.

Placing a large gilt mirror against a plain wall allows the metallic finish and rounded shoulders to serve as a focal point, creating a deliberate contrast that enhances both modern minimalism and traditional spaces.

Dusting should be done very gently with a soft, dry ostrich feather brush to avoid damaging the fragile gold leaf or flaking gesso, keeping the item away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
