The purpose of gilding is to give the appearance of solid gold, a practice that began over 4,000 years ago in Egypt. Paintings from Egyptian tombs from around 2000 B.C. show workers pounding gold into thin sheets to apply to pieces of furniture and coffins. The Greeks applied gilding to statues in around 400 B.C.E., and gilding techniques have continued to be used in Europe, South America, Spain, Britain and the United States.

During the 18th century, Louis XIV of France flaunted his wealth with gilded furnishings, framed artwork and architectural detailing, marking France as a leader in the decorative arts.

FAQs

Art Deco design, prominent in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by geometric symmetry, stylised motifs such as sunbursts and shells, and a combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial aesthetics.

These mirrors typically feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with gesso and gold leaf or gilt paint, housing bevelled glass plates held securely with traditional timber backing boards.

Authentication relies on examining the silvering on the reverse of the glass for natural oxidisation, inspecting hand-cut screw or nail fixtures, and verifying the construction methods consistent with early 20th-century cabinet making.

Placing the mirror above a fireplace or a sideboard creates a focal point that reflects light and adds architectural depth, contrasting effectively against minimalist or modern decor.

Dust the carved frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror to protect the antique silvering and gilt finish.
