FAQs

Clean the glass using a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner, while dusting the carved wooden frame gently with a dry, soft brush to avoid damaging the delicate gesso surface.

Positioning the piece as a focal point above a fireplace mantel or leaning it against a living room wall creates an effective balance between historic texture and modern minimalism.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as foxing on the mercury or silvered glass, hand-cut joinery at the frame corners, and natural crazing or hairline cracking in the gesso layer.

These frames were traditionally constructed from solid hardwoods such as pine or oak, coated with layers of gesso to create a smooth surface for gilding or painting.

Nineteenth-century French mirrors typically feature intricate hand-carved wooden frames, often enhanced with gesso and elaborate moulding, reflecting the classical interior design aesthetics of the period.
