Description

Dimensions:W: 85cm (33.5")H: 181cm (71.3")

Beautiful French gilt leaner mirror that could be used as a leaner mirror or could also be hung horizontally in a hall perhaps..

It dates from around 1800.

It has its stunning real gilt (gold leaf) on gesso frame in excellent condition and its gorgeous original foxed mercury glass. Mercury glass was not made after 1840 so is increasingly hard to come by and gives a sparkle and reflection like no other! Whilst there is foxing, the reflection is still very clear.

It has its lovely original panelled back.

FAQs

French mirrors from the late 18th and early 19th centuries typically feature classical proportions, clean architectural lines, and subdued ornamentation reflecting classical antiquity.

Authentic period frames are constructed from carved wood, often gessoed and hand-gilded with genuine gold leaf or metal leaf applied over a bole layer.

Authenticity is indicated by heavy, hand-beveled glass with natural foxing, aged wooden backboards secured with hand-cut nails, and craquelure or wear within the gilt finish.

Leaning a large antique mirror against a neutral wall creates a focal point that reflects natural light, adding depth and a sense of historic contrast to contemporary spaces.

Gilded surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding all chemical cleaners and excessive moisture to prevent lifting of the delicate gold leaf layer.
