The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

George II giltwood mirrors produced during the mid-18th century are defined by asymmetric Rococo scrollwork, naturalistic motifs such as acanthus leaves and shellwork, and elaborate pierced crestings carved from timber and coated in gold leaf.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved pine or lime wood frameworks finished with gesso and gold leaf water-gilding, fitted with hand-blown silvered mercury glass plates.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved joinery on the timber backing, subtle unevenness in the gilded surface, multiple glass section dividers, and greyish oxidisation or foxing across the mercury silvering.

Position the mirror as a focal point above a marble fireplace mantelpiece or a minimalist console table to balance ornate historical carving with contemporary architectural lines.

Dust the carved frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or solvents that can dissolve the delicate gesso and gold leaf finishes.
