FAQs

19th-century French gilded mirrors typically feature carved timber frames coated in gesso and decorated with water-gilding or gold leaf application. Designs vary from simple Louis Philippe arched frames to elaborate crestings incorporating mythical figures, shields, and floral motifs.

These mirrors were constructed using a wood base, usually pine or oak, covered with layers of plaster gesso. A layer of bole clay was applied over the gesso prior to laying micro-thin gold leaf, which was subsequently burnished using an agate stone.

Authentic period mirrors exhibit red or yellow bole showing through worn areas of gilding, hand-planed wooden backing boards, and light oxidisation or foxing within the reflective glass layer. Fine hairline cracking, known as craquelure, is also common across the gesso surface.

A gilded mirror serves as a focal point when placed above a fireplace mantelpiece, a hallway console table, or hung in a reception room. Positioning it opposite windows helps maximize natural light and adds structural depth to minimalist interiors.

Dust the gilded frame regularly with a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or wet cloths that dissolve water-gesso finishes. Maintain stable humidity levels to prevent the gesso substrate from cracking or lifting away from the timber.
