FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors frequently feature hand-carved wooden frames finished with layered gesso, often displaying distressed patinas achieved through age and wear.

These pieces typically comprise a solid timber base structure coated in gessoa mixture of plaster of Paris and binderwhich was then moulded, carved, and painted or gilded.

Authenticity is indicated by old mirror glass featuring foxing or oxidisation, hand-applied gesso showing natural cracking, and traditional joinery methods on the reverse of the wooden frame.

Such pieces function effectively as focal points when hung above a mantelpiece or positioned opposite a window to amplify natural light within a room.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable indoor humidity to protect the fragile gesso and wood, and cleaning the glass with a dry or minimally dampened microfiber cloth.
