The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Neoclassical mirror design from the 19th century draws inspiration from classical antiquity, featuring clean architectural lines, column pilasters, festoons, and Greco-Roman decorative motifs.

These mirrors were constructed from a carved timber frame faced with moulded composition ornament, finished with water gilding or oil gilding using gold leaf over a clay bole base.

Authentic period mirrors feature hand-cut pine backboards, natural wear or oxidisation to the gold leaf showing the underlying bole, and age-related silvering marks on the glass plate.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or large console table to create an architectural focal point, anchoring the space while reflecting light across the room.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry ostrich feather duster or soft artist brush, avoiding liquids and chemical cleaners which dissolve delicate water gilding.
