FAQs

Eighteenth-century English giltwood mirrors are characterized by hand-carved wooden frames coated in gesso and leafed in gold, often exhibiting neoclassical or Georgian architectural proportions and delicate beaded or carved border accents.

Frames were typically constructed from pine or lime wood, shaped, coated with plaster gesso, and hand-gilded with gold leaf, while the reflective surface utilised mercury-silvered glass with a lead or wooden backplate.

Authentic period mirrors display signs of hand-carving irregularities, genuine water gilding wear showing bole beneath, original square-cut backing boards or lead fixings, and age-related foxing or dark spot degradation within the silvering.

An antique mirror serves as a focal accent when placed above modern consoles, fireplace mantels, or within minimalist hallways to create contrast between clean architectural lines and historical texture.

Clean the gilded frame using only a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth without liquid cleaners, and clean the glass plate using a damp cloth taking care not to let moisture seep behind the frame border.
