FAQs

Victorian giltwood mirrors are characterised by elaborate carved wooden frames coated in gold leaf or gilt paint, often featuring ornate naturalistic motifs such as foliage, vines, and scrolls reflecting the eclectic revivalist tastes of the 19th century.

These pieces typically feature a hand-carved soft or hardwood frame, often utilising gesso and bole layers before the application of gold leaf, housing a hand-silvered glass mirror plate secured with traditional wooden backing boards and handmade fixings.

Authentic period mirrors can be identified by the presence of hand-cut or early float glass showing foxing and oxidisation, hand-carved wooden construction rather than modern resin moulding, and period-appropriate joinery and backboards.

A large gilded mirror adds a striking focal point and reflects natural light; it can be hung above a fireplace mantelpiece or utilised on a principal wall to create a sense of scale and contrast against contemporary minimalist decor.

Maintain the integrity of the piece by keeping it away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, dusting the carved frame gently with a dry soft brush, and cleaning the glass with a lint-free cloth without allowing moisture to seep behind the frame edges.
