FAQs

A nineteenth-century gilt mirror is a decorative wall mirror produced during the Victorian or French Restoration era, characterised by a wooden frame layered with moulded gesso and finished in fine gold leaf.

Frames were constructed using timber substrate covered with layers of gesso plaster, followed by an application of clay bole before ultra-thin sheets of gold leaf were water-gilded onto the surface.

Authentic pieces demonstrate hand-carved or plaster details, subtle wear showing the underlying red or yellow clay bole, and natural oxidisation or foxing on the original glass plate.

Position the mirror above a contemporary console table or mantelpiece to establish visual balance between classical ornamentation and clean architectural lines.

Dust the delicate gesso moulding gently using a soft, dry natural-bristle brush, avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive cloths that can remove the thin gold leaf surface.
