FAQs

Emerging during the reign of King Louis Philippe in France between 1830 and 1848, this style features a clean silhouette characterised by rounded upper corners, a flat base, and minimal ornamentation such as subtle incised or beaded borders.

Traditional frames were constructed from wood, typically pine or oak, coated in layers of gesso and colored bole before being finished with real gold or silver leaf, surrounding a mercury-backed glass plate.

Authentic period pieces display a distinct profile with soft top curves and straight bottom edges, red or dark bole showing through worn leafing, and period-appropriate wear or desilverisation on the original glass.

These versatile pieces can be positioned above a contemporary fireplace mantelpiece, placed over a hallway console table, or hung in a modern bathroom to create contrast between historical craftsmanship and clean contemporary lines.

Wipe the glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth dampened slightly with water, avoiding chemical sprays or excess moisture near the silvered backing and delicate gesso frame.
