FAQs

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush. Avoid liquid cleaning agents and moisture, which can degrade the fragile gesso and gold leaf finish.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror above a fireplace or anchoring it on a large wall creates a dramatic focal point, reflecting natural light and contrasting effectively with contemporary minimalist furniture.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit hand-carved or molded gesso details, foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plates, and older pine backboards secured with handmade or early machine-cut screws.

These frames were typically constructed from pine or softwood as a base, covered with gesso and composition ornamentation, and finished with gold leaf or gilt paint.

Victorian overmantel mirrors were designed specifically to be hung above fireplace mantelpieces, becoming increasingly popular during the 19th century as plate glass manufacturing became more advanced and affordable.
