FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors often drew inspiration from earlier Louis XIV, XV, and XVI periods, featuring ornate carved woodwork finished with gold leaf or gilt composition.

These pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame, often made of pine, oak, or gesso over wood, finished with layers of gold leaf and secured with traditional joinery.

Authentic pieces often display historical markers such as foxing or oxidisation on the mercury or silvered glass plate, hand-beveled edges, aged gesso cracking, and hand-cut wooden screws or backboards.

Place the mirror above a minimalist fireplace mantel or lean it against a plain wall to create a striking contrast between historical ornamentation and modern clean lines.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry brush to avoid damaging the delicate gold leaf, and clean the glass sparingly with a microfibre cloth and a neutral glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the mirror.
