FAQs

French mirrors from the circa 1870 period, often associated with the Napoleon III style, frequently feature refined classical or Rococo revival mouldings. Frames were commonly finished in gold leaf, silver leaf, or a combination of both, adorned with prominent carved crestings such as shells, foliage, or floral garlands.

These mirrors were constructed with a solid carved timber frame coated in gessoa smooth mixture of plaster and glue. Silver leaf or gold leaf was applied using water gilding techniques, over which mirror glass was set, backed by protective pine backboards.

Authentic period mirrors exhibit hand-cut timber backboards, light oxidisation or dark spots on the reflective glass coating, and natural wear where the underlying bole or red clay shows through the silver or gold leaf finish.

A large French mirror can be hung directly above a fireplace mantel or sideboard to reflect light and enhance room proportions. Alternatively, placing it vertically as a floor-leaning piece creates a dramatic architectural statement in a hallway or bedroom.

The gilded frame should only be dusted with a soft, dry lint-free cloth or feather duster, avoiding liquids or chemical cleaners that degrade the delicate leaf finish. Glass cleaner should be applied carefully directly to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the glass.
