This 19th-century Victorian Rococo Revival wall mirror is made of giltwood, gesso and glass with a gold colour. The elaborately carved frame displays cherub figures, floral scrollwork including roses, forget-me-nots and lilies, and an integrated bracket shelf at the base. The original glass mirror plate has an etched design with floral swags and ribbons, and the piece retains its original back board with losses to the gilding visible on the surface. Measuring 56 cm high, 34.5 cm wide and 11.5 cm deep, this compact wall mirror is suited for placement on a narrow wall space in a hallway, bedroom or living room to add French Chateau style interior decoration.

FAQs

A giltwood cherub bracket mirror is a decorative wall-mounted piece combining a mirrored plate, carved putti or cherub figures, and an integrated shelf or bracket at the base, commonly produced during the 19th-century Rococo Revival period.

These pieces were typically constructed from carved timber or molded gesso over a wooden core, finished with gold leaf gilding and fitted with etched or clear glass mirror plates.

Authentic examples often display natural surface patina, reddish bole clay visible beneath worn gold leaf, hand-carved joinery on the reverse, and subtle surface variations in the etched mirrored glass.

Position the mirror on a narrow feature wall, above an entryway console, or within a gallery wall arrangement, utilizing the integrated bracket shelf to support a small porcelain ornament or sculptural object.

Dust the carved gilding gently with a dry, soft camel-hair brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or damp cloths that could compromise the gold leaf and underlying gesso layer.
