FAQs

A 19th-century French bistro mirror is a style of wall mirror traditionally used in Parisian cafes and bistros, often characterised by a simple yet elegant gilded frame designed to reflect light and expand the visual space of commercial interiors.

These mirrors typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame coated in gessoa plaster-like binder mixwhich is then leafed in gold or painted with gilt. The glass panes are often hand-silvered, exhibiting characteristic ageing and foxing over time.

Authentic pieces generally display signs of age such as minor losses to the gesso, hand-beveled or uneven glass with foxing spots, and period construction techniques on the wooden backing and joinery rather than modern fixings.

An antique gilt mirror can serve as a striking focal point when hung above a mantelpiece or leaned against a wall in a hallway or living room, adding warmth, reflection, and a touch of historical contrast to contemporary minimalist or maximalist schemes.

To preserve antique mirrors, clean the glass gently with a soft microfibre cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the glass. Avoid harsh chemicals on the gilded frame to protect the fragile gesso and gold leaf surface.
