FAQs

Originating in nineteenth-century France, Louis Philippe mirrors are defined by clean lines, rounded upper corners, a flat base, and gilding decorated with subtle incised geometric or floral motifs.

Frames were typically carved from woods such as pine or poplar, coated with layers of gesso clay, and finished with gold leaf applied using traditional water gilding techniques.

Authentic period mirrors often display mercury glass with light foxing or oxidisation, red or grey clay bole visible beneath worn gold leaf, and traditional timber backings.

Position the mirror above a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bathroom basin to bounce light, add visual depth, and introduce historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a dry soft brush, avoiding water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive cloths that can dissolve gesso and remove delicate gold leaf.
