FAQs

A Louis Philippe mirror is characterised by a clean rectangular shape featuring softly rounded upper corners and squared lower corners. Originating in mid-19th-century France during the reign of King Louis Philippe, these mirrors typically feature simple or subtly engraved wood frames finished in gold or silver leaf.

These mirrors were built using hand-carved wooden frames coated in gesso before being gilded with thin gold leaf over a coloured clay base known as bole. The reflective backing was created using mercury or early silvering techniques on blown glass plates.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut backboards, evidence of reddish clay bole showing through worn gilding, and mild oxidisation or foxing on the glass. The signature profile, featuring rounded top corners paired with flat bottom corners, serves as a primary identifying characteristic.

A Louis Philippe mirror can be placed above a fireplace mantelpiece or leaned against an accent wall to add vertical proportion and light to a room. It functions effectively as a focal point in dining rooms, hallways, or living spaces alongside contemporary or period furnishings.

Dust the gilded frame using a dry, soft camel-hair brush to clean without lifting fragile gold leaf. Avoid liquid cleaners or chemical sprays on the frame, and wipe the mirror glass using a lightly dampened cloth while avoiding contact with the gilded edges.
