FAQs

This style is characterised by neoclassical architectural elements adapted from classical antiquity, including fluted side columns, pedimented tops, beaded borders, and central crests or medallions.

Frames were constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods coated with gesso, a mixture of binder and chalk, allowing fine relief detailing before painting, gilding, and fitting with silvered glass.

Authentic pieces feature pine backboards with hand-cut joinery, age-related craquelure within the gesso layer, subtle oxidisation or foxing on the glass, and hand-carved decorative motifs.

Position the mirror leaning against a neutral focal wall or mounted above a tailored console table, using its structured architectural outline to contrast against minimalist contemporary furniture.

Dust the frame lightly with a soft dry brush, keep the mirror away from high humidity to prevent gesso lifting, and clean the mirror glass using a damp cloth without spraying liquids onto the frame.
