FAQs

Originating in the early 19th century, Regency giltwood mirrors reflected the eras preference for Neoclassical motifs, refined proportions, and gilded finishes designed to maximise reflected light in grand interiors.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved timber frames coated with layers of gessoa smooth plaster mixture of chalk and glue sizefollowed by gold leaf application through water or oil gilding.

Authentic period mirrors often display visible clay bole beneath worn gilding, gentle foxing or desilverisation on the glass plate, and hand-sawn wooden backing boards secured with old nails.

Position the mirror above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantelpiece to create visual contrast between traditional gilded craftsmanship and minimalist architectural lines.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, and strictly avoid liquid cleaners or damp cloths, which can dissolve the water-soluble gesso composition layer underneath.
