FAQs

Originating in late eighteenth-century France, Louis XVI mirror design is characterised by Neoclassical restraint, featuring linear geometric frames, beaded borders, and decorative crestings such as ribbon knots, garlands, and floral swags.

Frames were typically carved from solid wood, coated with layers of gesso plaster, and finished with thin sheets of gold leaf applied using water gilding techniques over hand-poured glass plates.

Authentic period examples often show reddish-brown clay bole showing through worn gold leaf, oxidation or silvering spots on the glass, hand-hewn wooden backing boards, and original joint construction.

A large gilt mirror functions as a room anchor when positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece, rested securely against a neutral wall, or placed above a minimalist sideboard to contrast classic and contemporary elements.

Dust the frame lightly using a soft dry brush or feather duster, avoiding water or chemical cleaning sprays, which can dissolve the water-soluble gesso adhesive beneath the delicate gold leaf layer.
