FAQs

Late 19th-century French oak mirrors combine traditional provincial carpentry with refined architectural details, featuring soft rounded upper corners, carved egg-and-dart mouldings, and solid oak frames.

These mirrors were constructed using solid oak timber or thick oak veneers for the frame, backboards crafted from pine or softwoods, and heavy glass mirror plates silvered using traditional processes.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved detailing with subtle variations, original wooden backboards fastened with historical nails, and natural foxing or oxidisation on the mirror glass.

Position the mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or hallway sideboard to act as a structural focal point while enhancing ambient light.

Clean the glass using a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth without allowing liquid to contact the frame, and preserve the oak timber by applying a clear natural beeswax paste periodically.
