FAQs

19th-century French gilt mirrors are characterised by ornate frames crafted from carved wood and gesso, decorated with gold or silver leaf techniques, often featuring intricate scrollwork, crests, and floral motifs popular during the Rococo Revival and Louis XV eras.

Traditional French mirrors from this period used a carved timber core coated with layers of gessoa mixture of chalk and animal gluewhich was finely sculpted before receiving clay bole and hand-applied water gilding with precious metal leaf.

Authentic pieces display subtle wear through the gilding revealing the underlying reddish or grey bole clay, authentic glass with minor oxidisation or foxing, and hand-worked joinery on the reverse of the wooden frame.

A large French gilt mirror can be leaned against a focal wall or positioned above a console table to introduce historical texture, reflect natural light, and create visual depth within contemporary spaces.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush, avoiding water, chemical cleaners, or liquid solvents that can dissolve gesso or strip fragile leaf gilding.
