We have had some minor restoration carried out by our professional gilder, the condition is superb throughout, with just the right amount of patina. The mirror itself has some extremely minor discolouration to some edges of the silvered backing, which is normal for a mirror that is around 120 years old.

FAQs

French gilt wood mirrors typically feature intricately carved wooden frames coated in gold leaf or gesso, often displaying classical motifs, scrolling foliage, and symmetrical proportions originating from periods like Louis XIV, XV, or XVI.

Authentic period pieces are traditionally constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods such as pine or oak, coated with layers of gesso, and finished with fine gold leaf or metal leaf gilding.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved details rather than cast resin, genuine oxidisation and foxing on the mercury or silvered glass plate, and period-appropriate joinery and backboards.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror in a contemporary setting creates a striking focal point, often hung above a minimalist fireplace or placed opposite a window to maximise natural light and amplify spatial depth.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding all liquid cleaners, abrasive chemicals, and direct sunlight to prevent cracking or flaking of the gold leaf.
