FAQs

Originating in 19th-century France, Louis Philippe mirrors are defined by rounded upper corners, squared lower corners, and clean, softly curved profiles often rendered in gilded wood or plaster.

These mirrors typically feature hand-carved timber frames, finished with plaster or gesso and covered in real gold leaf gilding, housing silvered or mercury-backed glass plates.

Authentic period examples often display solid timber panel backings on the reverse, slight wear to the gilding showing reddish bole beneath, and natural foxing or oxidisation on the mirror glass.

These mirrors serve as focal points when positioned above a fireplace mantel, mounted in a hallway, or placed above a bedroom console table to balance modern interior architecture with historical texture.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding wet cloths or liquid cleaners that can strip gold leaf or damage delicate gesso layers.
