FAQs

French Louis XVI style gilt mirrors are characterised by Neoclassical symmetry, featuring architectural mouldings, floral garlands, cresting, and beaded trim inspired by classical antiquity.

These mirrors were constructed using hand-carved wood frames coated with layers of gesso plaster, which were subsequently gilded using gold leaf applied over a clay base known as bole.

Authentic period examples often feature hand-hewn wooden backboards, reddish clay bole visible through worn gold leaf, and silvered glass plates exhibiting mild oxidisation or foxing.

Positioning a gilt mirror above a fireplace mantelpiece or a contemporary sideboard creates a focal point, bridging historical architectural detailing with minimalist contemporary furnishings.

Dust the gilded frame gently using a soft, dry brush, avoiding water or liquid cleaning solutions which can dissolve water-gilded gesso and strip the delicate gold leaf.
