FAQs

Georgian giltwood mirrors, originating from 18th-century Britain, are defined by carved wooden frames coated in thin layers of gesso and gold leaf. They frequently feature classical and Rococo motifs, including acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and symmetrical cresting.

These mirrors were constructed by hand-carving softwoods such as pine or lime, applying multiple coats of gesso, and meticulously water-gilding or oil-gilding with gold leaf. The reflective surface typically consisted of mercury glass silvered on iron-backed plates.

Authentic Georgian mirrors display hand-carved tool marks on the reverse wooden backing, light oxidation or foxing on the original mercury glass, and natural wear or red bole showing through rubbed areas of gilding.

A pair of giltwood mirrors can be hung symmetrically above a sideboard, flanking a fireplace, or placed above matching bedside tables to create balance and introduce texture to modern spaces.

Dust giltwood frames gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or feather duster, avoiding liquids or chemical cleaners, which can dissolve water-gesso underlayers and damage delicate gold leafing.
