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

French gilt rectangular mirrors are traditional nineteenth-century wall mirrors characterised by moulded wooden frames coated in plaster or gesso and finished with thin layers of gold leaf. They typically feature classical geometric proportions complemented by stylized corner foliage, floral spandrels, or beaded inner borders.

These mirrors were constructed using a hand-carved or moulded softwood base, such as pine or lime, coated with gesso composition moulding. Thin sheets of gold leaf were applied over a clay bole base, and silvered glass was set into the frame.

Authentic pieces show natural oxidisation on the original glass plate, known as foxing, along with visible red or dark clay bole showing through worn areas of gilding. The back usually reveals original timber panelling and hand-wrought joinery rather than modern plywood or stapled backing.

Positioning a gold gilt mirror above a clean-lined fireplace mantelpiece or modern sideboard creates balanced visual contrast between classical ornamentation and contemporary minimalist aesthetics. The reflective glass aids light distribution across dark or narrow spaces.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush or feather duster without applying water or chemical cleaners, which can dissolve the water-gilded surface. Clean the glass separately using a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water, taking care not to let moisture seep beneath the inner frame moulding.
