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

Parcel gilt mirrors from the 18th century combine natural timber surfaces, such as walnut or mahogany, with selective gilding on carved decorative elements. This technique highlights intricate cresting, leaf scrolls, and ornate borders while maintaining the warm wood grain of the main frame.

These mirrors were constructed using dense hardwoods like walnut or pine faced with fine veneers, complemented by hand-carved timber or gesso details finished with leaf gold. The mirror plates were historically silvered or mercury-backed glass.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut backboards, natural oxidisation on the original mirror glass, and subtle wear to the gilding that reveals the underlying red or grey bole. Hand-carved decorative motifs will also exhibit minor variations characteristic of manual artisan tools.

A parcel gilt mirror serves as a focal point when positioned above a contemporary console table or fireplace mantel. Combining rich timber tones and gilded accents with neutral wall paint creates a balanced contrast between historical craft and clean contemporary lines.

Clean the glass plate using a lightly dampened microfibre cloth, ensuring liquids do not reach the frame edge. Dust carved wooden areas gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding water, commercial polishers, or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the gold leaf.
