FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors frequently incorporate elaborate neoclassical or rococo motifs, featuring carved wooden frames coated in gesso and leaf gilding designed to reflect light and enhance spatial depth.

Authentic period frames are constructed from carved timber, such as pine or hardwood, coated with a layer of gesso to create a smooth surface for water gilding or oil gilding with gold leaf.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved detailing with natural imperfections, multilayered gesso showing age-related craquelure, foxing or oxidisation within the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and secure tongue-and-groove or pegged wooden joinery at the reverse.

Positioning a large antique mirror opposite a light source enhances illumination, whilst contrasting its ornate historical texture against minimalist, neutral walls creates a balanced focal point.

Dust gently using a dry, soft brush or microfiber cloth, avoiding all water, liquid solvents, and abrasive cleaners which can strip the delicate gesso and gold leaf layers.
