FAQs

The Rococo style originated in France during the early 18th century, characterised by asymmetrical designs, C-scrolls, and naturalistic motifs such as foliage and flowers, later seeing a revival in the 19th century.

Authentic period mirrors are typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods such as pine or gesso-coated wood, finished with gold leaf or gilt application over a red bole preparation layer.

Authentication relies on examining the construction joints, the age of the glass plate (often showing foxing, waviness, or hand-bevelling), and the composition of the gesso and gold leaf layers under magnification.

Placing an ornate gilded mirror against a minimalist, neutral-painted wall creates a striking focal point that contrasts contemporary simplicity with historical craftsmanship.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush and kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent cracking or flaking of the delicate gold leaf.
