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

A cushion mirror, or miroir coussin, features a raised central glass plate surrounded by angled border plates and decorative moulding. Originating in France and Flanders, these mirrors were designed to reflect light from multiple angles, adding depth and architectural structure to room interiors.

19th-century French mirror frames were constructed from carved timber bases layered with gessoa mixture of chalk, pigment, and binderand finished with gilding or paint. The mirror plates were made using glass silvered with mercury or silver nitrate compositions.

Authentic antique gesso mirrors display natural age-related crazing, fine surface cracking, or minor chipping that reveals the carved wood underneath. Original mirror glass from the period often exhibits light foxing, faint oxidisation spots, and original wooden panel backing boards.

Positioning a large French cushion mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or console table creates a focal point within a room. Combining the textured, distressed frame with clean-lined modern furniture provides a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

Dust the ornate carved frame using a dry, soft natural-bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners that can soften original gesso. Clean the mirror glass carefully with a lightly dampened microfibre cloth, preventing water from penetrating the frame edges.
