FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors typically feature carved wooden frames finished with layered gesso and gold leaf, often incorporating rococo or neoclassical scrollwork and asymmetrical or shaped crestings.

These frames are constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods, coated with gesso (a mixture of plaster of Paris and glue) to create a smooth surface for applying thin gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authentic pieces often display foxing and oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-carved joinery at the frame corners, and crackled gesso showing age-appropriate wear beneath the gilt surface.

Pairing a heavily gilded period mirror with contemporary, minimalist furniture creates a striking focal point, using the reflective surface to bounce natural light and add depth to neutral spaces.

Dust the carved frame gently with a soft dry brush and clean the glass using a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with distilled water, avoiding harsh chemicals that can strip the fragile historical gesso and leaf.
