FAQs

Originating in 19th-century France, these mirrors typically feature arched upper silhouettes, carved decorative crestings, and gilded gesso frames designed to sit above a mantlepiece.

Traditional gilt mirrors were constructed using timber frames layered with plaster gesso, which was subsequently coated in gold leaf and burnished to achieve depth and texture.

Authentic period gilding exhibits subtle wear patterns, natural surface oxidisation, and faint red or grey clay bole showing through the worn areas of gold leaf.

Placing a large gilt mirror above a clean-lined fireplace mantelpiece or mounting it on a neutral wall creates an engaging contrast between historic detail and modern simplicity.

Dust the frame regularly using a dry, soft-bristled brush to prevent disturbing fragile gold leaf, and clean the glass using a damp cloth while ensuring water does not contact the timber.
