FAQs

Eighteenth-century mirrors typically feature elaborate carved wooden frames finished with gold leaf over gesso, reflecting the ornate aesthetic of the Baroque and Rococo periods.

These pieces were constructed using carved softwood or hardwood timbers, coated with multiple layers of gesso and bole, then hand-gilded with genuine gold leaf.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the hand-carved details, the presence of aged gesso with crackle or oxidisation, hand-beveled glass with mercury silvering defects, and historical construction joints on the reverse.

An antique mirror adds a reflective focal point and historical contrast when hung above a modern console table or integrated into a minimalist gallery wall.

Preservation requires avoiding moisture and chemical cleaning agents, dusting gently with a soft dry brush, and maintaining stable indoor humidity to prevent the gesso from cracking.
