FAQs

Ninetenth-century French arched mirrors, often associated with the Louis Philippe period, are characterised by rounded upper corners, clean outer profiles, and beaded or moulded gesso detailing. They were traditionally designed as overmantel mirrors to rest directly on a fireplace mantelpiece.

These mirrors feature a solid timber framework coated with gesso, a mixture of binder, chalk, and pigment. Decorative mouldings were sculpted or cast in gesso before being gilded or painted, housing a mercury or silvered glass plate backed by timber boards.

Authentic period examples generally display original pine or oak backboards, hand-cut joinery, natural wear or flaking to the painted gesso surface, and slight foxing or oxidisation on the mirrored glass plate.

A large French arched mirror can be positioned above a fireplace mantel, mounted on a hallway focal wall, or rested on top of a dining room sideboard to reflect light and enhance room depth.

Dust the frame gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush to avoid dislodging delicate gesso details. Avoid liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals on painted surfaces, and clean the glass using a lightly dampened microfiber cloth.
