FAQs

Nineteenth-century giltwood mirrors frequently draw inspiration from earlier Rococo and Baroque revivals, characterised by elaborate, flowing organic motifs, asymmetrical scrolls, and grand proportions designed to reflect light and enhance interior space.

These frames are typically constructed from hand-carved softwoods or hardwoods, coated in a layer of gesso, and meticulously finished with gold leaf or gilt paint applied over a bole base.

Authenticity is determined by examining the construction of the wooden frame, the presence of hand-applied gesso and bole under the gilding, the ageing and oxidation patterns of the original mercury or silvered glass, and traditional joinery methods at the corners.

Placing a large ornate mirror against a minimalist, neutral wall creates a striking visual contrast, using its historic texture as a focal point while bouncing natural light around modern spaces.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush or feather duster, avoiding all chemical cleaning agents, water, or abrasive cloths that can strip the gold leaf.
