FAQs

Rococo giltwood mirrors from the 18th century typically feature asymmetric scrollwork, acanthus leaves, shell motifs, and elaborate pierced cresting, reflecting the light and decorative taste of European interiors during that period.

These frames were carved from softwoods such as pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso, and finished using water gilding or oil gilding with thin sheets of gold leaf over a coloured bole base.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-carved joinery, natural wood shrinkage, subtle wear revealing the reddish or grey clay bole beneath the gold leaf, and mercury-gilded mirror glass showing dark spots or light oxidisation.

Position the mirror above a mantle, entry console, or within a minimalist hallway to create contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary architectural elements.

Dust gently using a soft, dry feather duster or artist brush; avoid liquid cleaners, damp cloths, and commercial polishes, as water and solvents dissolve water-gilded gesso surfaces.
