FAQs

A pier mirror and console set was traditionally designed in 18th and 19th-century France to fit on the narrow wall section, or pier, between two windows. These architectural ensembles reflected natural light and provided a focal decorative element in reception rooms and hallways.

19th-century French console tables typically featured hand-carved wood frames finished with gold leaf gilded over gesso, topped with shaped marble slabs and fitted with silvered glass mirrors.

Authentic pieces feature carved wooden frames with plaster gesso layers beneath water or oil gilding, displaying natural rubbing, age-related craquelure, and irregular hand-sawn backboards or timber joints.

Position the set in an entrance hall, corridor, or narrow alcove to create visual depth and maximise natural light, contrasting the ornate gilded detail against neutral or dark contemporary painted walls.

Clean giltwood frames using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to avoid disturbing fragile gold leaf, avoiding water or chemical cleaners entirely, while marble surfaces should be wiped gently with a neutral pH stone cleaner.
