FAQs

Originating in 19th-century France, Louis Philippe mirrors are characteristically distinguished by their rounded upper corners, gentle arched top, and water-gilded wood frames often featuring subtle incised patterns or decorative cresting.

These frames were typically crafted from solid pine or lime wood, coated with multiple layers of gesso clay, and finished with delicate gold leaf application using traditional water-gilding techniques.

Authentic period mirrors feature natural wear to the gold leaf revealing red or yellow bole clay beneath, original glass displaying subtle foxing, and hand-sawn wooden backing boards.

A gilt overmantel mirror can be mounted above a fireplace, positioned over a console table, or set against a neutral backdrop to create architectural focal points and reflect natural light.

Clean gilt frames using only a soft dry feather duster or dry microfibre cloth, avoiding water, liquid cleansers, or chemical polishes which can dissolve the water-gesso binder and strip the gold leaf.
