FAQs

French Rococo mirrors emerged in the eighteenth century under Louis XV and experienced significant revivals during the late nineteenth century. The style is characterised by asymmetrical curves, organic shell motifs known as rocaille, flowing acanthus leaves, and gilded finishes designed to capture and scatter candlelight.

These pieces were crafted using a solid wood substrateoften pine or oakcovered with moulded gesso plaster. Gold leaf was applied over a coloured clay bole base, while the reflective glass was silvered or mercury-backed.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature hand-carved or moulded gesso detailing, visible joint construction on the rear timber backboards, natural wear to the gilding revealing underlying bole, and light silvering degradation or foxing on the original glass.

A Rococo mirror creates strong visual contrast when placed against clean, modern architectural lines or minimal wall finishes. Positioning the piece above a contemporary console table or resting it on the floor brings depth and period detail into a modern space.

Dust the frame regularly with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth to prevent dirt accumulation in carved recesses. Avoid liquid cleaners, water, or chemical solvents on gilded surfaces, as moisture can dissolve animal glue or lift delicate gold leaf.
