FAQs

A girandole is a decorative wall mirror featuring one or more attached candle sconces designed to reflect and amplify candlelight within a room.

Traditional construction involves a carved wooden or gesso-on-wood frame finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, fitted with a silvered glass mirror plate.

Authentication involves examining the backing boards, the composition of the gesso, hand-carved details, and age-related foxing or oxidisation on the glass plate.

Positioning the piece as a focal point above a mantelpiece or console table creates a striking contrast against minimalist contemporary decor.

Dust the ornate frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly onto the mirror.
