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

Louis XV style mirrors are defined by French Rococo design elements, including asymmetrical curves, elaborate shell motifs, acanthus leaf carvings, and arched upper profiles.

These mirrors were constructed from carved timber framing overlaid with plaster or gesso, coated in red clay bole, and finished with leaf gilding over reflective glass panels.

Authentic period examples feature hand-carved timber backboards, evidence of red bole showing through worn gilding, and subtle oxidation or light foxing within the glass mirror plate.

A large gilded mirror can be styled as a focal point above a fireplace mantelpiece, positioned in an entryway, or leaned against a neutral wall in a contemporary living room to reflect light.

Preserve giltwood frames by dusting gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive solvents that strip gold leaf, and maintaining consistent humidity levels.
