FAQs

Originating in 17th-century Italy, the Baroque style is characterised by dramatic ornamentation, exuberant curves, and a theatrical sense of movement designed to convey grandeur and power.

Authentic period pieces were typically hand-carved from softwoods like limewood or pine, then finished with layers of gesso and gold leaf or gilding.

Authenticity is determined by examining the backboards for age-related timber shrinkage, hand-cut nails, the presence of mercury or early silvering on the glass, and tool marks indicative of hand-carving.

Placing an ornate historical mirror against a minimalist or contemporary backdrop creates a striking focal point through the contrast of old and new.

Maintain gilded frames by dusting gently with a dry, soft brush and avoiding chemical cleaners, moisture, and direct sunlight to protect the fragile leaf finish.
