The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A tray mirror features a raised, moulded border resembling the lip of a serving tray, a design popularized in 18th and 19th-century Italian decorative framing to create visual depth around the glass plate.

These mirrors were traditionally constructed using carved softwood frames layered with gesso, finished with hand-applied gold leaf gilding, and fitted with early hand-blown glass plates.

Authentic period mirrors feature hand-cut joinery on the reverse timber backing, craquelure within the gesso layer, subtle wear revealing red bole under the gilding, and minor distortion or oxidation in the glass.

Position the mirror above a modern sideboard or mantelpiece to create contrast between historical gilded textures and contemporary architectural lines while maximizing natural room light.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster, avoiding liquids, damp cloths, or commercial chemical cleaners that dissolve water-soluble gesso and gilding.
