FAQs

French Chateau style mirrors are characterised by gilded wooden frames, intricate carved details, and classic proportions that reflect classical European design traditions.

These pieces typically feature hand-carved wood frames finished with layers of gesso, bole, and gold leaf, often assembled with traditional joinery methods.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-applied gold leaf, the presence of red bole beneath the gold, hand-beveled glass with natural oxidisation, and period-appropriate joinery on the reverse.

An antique gilt mirror can be contrasted against minimalist neutral walls to create a focal point, or positioned above a modern mantelpiece to add historical depth and reflect natural light.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding any moisture, abrasive cleaners, or chemical solvents that could damage the delicate gold leaf.
