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

Georgian giltwood mirrors from the 18th century are noted for their architectural symmetry, elaborate carving, and integration of Rococo and Neoclassical motifs. Frames commonly feature acanthus leaves, C-scrolls, floral swags, and delicate pediments applied over hand-carved timber.

The frames were typically carved from softwoods such as pine or lime wood, then coated with layers of gesso and red or grey bole clay. Genuine gold leaf was applied using a water gilding technique, while the reflective surface comprised mercury-amalgamated glass.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved timber backings, uneven silvering or subtle oxidisation on original glass, and natural wear where the underlying gesso or red bole shows through the gold leaf. Joinery details like hand-cut wooden pegs and rough-sawn pine backboards further indicate age.

A period giltwood mirror serves as a focal point when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, dining room sideboard, or hallway console table. Combining the detailed gilt frame with minimalist contemporary walls creates an effective visual contrast.

Dust the gilded surfaces gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre feather duster. Avoid liquid cleaners, damp cloths, or commercial polishes, as moisture dissolves the water-soluble gesso base and strips the fragile gold leaf.
