FAQs

The Rococo style is characterised by asymmetrical C-scrolls, S-scrolls, floral motifs, and naturalistic ornamentation that originated in 18th-century France and emphasised lightness and ornate detail.

Traditional pieces feature a carved wooden or moulded gesso-on-pine base, built up with multiple layers of chalk and glue, then hand-gilded with gold leaf or finished with metallic powder.

Authentic pieces display historical signs of age such as minor losses to the gesso, hand-applied bole under layers of gold leaf, foxing or oxidisation on the original mirror plate, and traditional hand-cut joinery.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent gesso cracking, and dusting gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth without using liquid cleaning agents.

An antique gilt mirror works effectively as a focal point above a minimalist mantelpiece or console table, contrasting traditional craftsmanship with clean, contemporary architectural lines.
