FAQs

French Rococo style mirrors from the 19th century, associated with Louis XV revivals, feature asymmetrical scrollwork, acanthus leaves, shell crests, and gilded ornamentation applied to wooden or gesso frames.

Frames were constructed from carved timber covered in a moulded plaster gesso mix, which was then gilded using gold leaf over a coloured clay bole base before mounting a silvered glass plate.

Authentic period pieces display natural age wear such as fine crazing in the gesso moulding, reddish clay bole showing through worn gilding, original iron mounting brackets, and foxing on the glass.

Positioning an ornate gilt mirror above a minimalist console table or fireplace mantel creates a focal point that contrasts classical craftsmanship with contemporary design lines.

Dust gently using a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding water, liquid detergents, or chemical polishes which can dissolve the water-gesso binder and lift the gold leaf.
