The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century French painted mirrors are characterized by carved wooden frames coated in gesso, featuring moulded profiles, beaded borders, and neutral painted finishes that reflect regional provincial and Parisian style.

These frames were constructed using a timber base, over which layers of gessoa mixture of chalk and animal glue binderwere applied to form detailed reliefs or smooth surfaces prior to painting or gilding.

Authentic pieces typically feature original timber backing boards, natural wear where the gesso substrate shows beneath the paint layer, and minor silvering oxidation or foxing on the glass mirror plate.

A large rectangular mirror can be positioned above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table to enhance natural light and introduce architectural depth to contemporary living or dining spaces.

Dust the frame gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft-bristled brush, ensuring water and chemical solvents are avoided as liquid can degrade delicate gesso and painted surfaces.
