FAQs

Eighteenth-century oval giltwood mirrors originated during the Rococo and Neoclassical periods, characterised by hand-carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf. These mirrors were designed to enhance natural light and serve as focal points in formal reception rooms.

Craftsmen hand-carved softwoods such as pine or lime, applied layers of gesso to smooth the carved surface, and added a layer of clay bole before applying ultra-thin gold leaf using water gilding techniques.

Authentic items typically exhibit hand-carved joinery, natural foxing or oxidisation on the glass plate, and areas of gentle wear revealing the underlying clay bole layer beneath the gilded surface.

An antique giltwood mirror can be positioned above a minimalist console table or contemporary fireplace mantelpiece to create a striking contrast between traditional decorative arts and modern architectural lines.

Giltwood frames should be lightly dusted with a soft brush rather than wiped with liquid cleaners, as moisture can dissolve the underlying gesso substrate and loosen the delicate gold leaf.
