FAQs

An antique French silvered mirror is a decorative looking glass originating from 19th-century France, featuring hand-carved wooden frames finished with gesso and silver leaf or paint.

These pieces were typically constructed from pine or hardwood, embellished with moulded gesso to create intricate relief details, and finished with silver leaf, metallic paints, or antiqued patination.

Authenticity is determined by examining the construction of the wooden frame, the presence of hand-applied gesso, foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and period-appropriate joinery.

Placing a large antique mirror against a plain wall creates a striking focal point, reflecting natural light and contrasting classical craftsmanship with minimalist modern furniture.

Maintain the frame and glass by dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, and keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to protect the fragile gesso and silvering.
