FAQs

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the gilded and painted surfaces, and apply a mild, ammonia-free cleaner sparingly to the glass to protect the aged silvering.

Mounting a large antique mirror against a neutral wall allows the historic craftsmanship and faux marble finish to act as a dramatic focal point in a modern living space.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-beveled mercury glass with characteristic oxidation spots, old pine or chestnut secondary wood backing, and traditional hand-carved joinery.

These pieces typically utilized a carved wooden base, gesso, hand-mixed pigments for faux finishes like marbleising, and genuine gold leaf gilding on ornamental details.

Neoclassical mirrors from the late 18th century draw inspiration from classical antiquity, featuring architectural motifs such as pilasters, cornices, and symmetrical proportions.
