FAQs

A Chinoiserie mirror is a decorative wall glass featuring European framework adorned with East Asian-inspired lacquerwork, gilded scenes, and oriental motifs, a style popularised in Western Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Traditional examples feature wooden frames treated with gesso, painted lacquer or japanned finishes, and hand-applied gilding depicting figures, flora, and landscapes alongside mirrored glass.

Authentic period pieces typically demonstrate hand-carved joinery, natural surface crazing within the lacquer, age-related oxidation on the mirrored glass, and hand-painted metallic gold detail.

Position a dark lacquered mirror in a narrow hallway, alcove, or entry space against light-coloured walls to create visual contrast and draw natural light across the room.

Dust the lacquered frame gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding water, chemical polishes, or spirit-based cleaners that could compromise the delicate gilding and clear lacquer coat.
