FAQs

Florentine giltwood mirrors are defined by intricate openwork carving, often featuring acanthus leaves, scrollwork, and shell motifs. The frames are typically crafted from wood, layered with gesso, and finished in gold leaf, reflecting the ornate decorative traditions of Renaissance and Rococo Italy.

These mirrors are historically constructed from hand-carved carved timber, such as pine or lime wood. A chalky gesso base coat is applied over the wood before gold leaf is carefully water-gilded or oil-gilded onto the surface, housing a central glass plate.

Authentic pieces display evidence of hand carving on the reverse, hand-carved timber joints, and natural wear where the red or grey bole preparation layer shows through thin areas of gold leaf. Modern reproductions frequently rely on molded resin or uniform spray gilding instead of genuine gold leaf.

A Florentine mirror serves as a high-contrast focal point when hung above contemporary consoles or minimalist fireplaces. Combining carved gold frames with neutral wall paint creates a balanced juxtaposition between historic detail and modern simplicity.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush or microfibre cloth to prevent lifting the gold leaf. Water and liquid chemical cleaners must never be applied directly to gilded surfaces, as moisture dissolves water-gesso bases.
