FAQs

The Rococo style originated in France during the 1730s, characterised by asymmetrical designs, C-scrolls, and naturalistic motifs such as foliage and shells, which later influenced 19th-century revival pieces.

Traditional pieces typically feature a carved wooden or gesso-on-wood base finished with gold leaf or gilt application, often joined with traditional mortise and tenon or pinned construction.

Authentic pieces often show age-related wear in the gilding, hand-carved detailing rather than moulded resin, and older mirror plates featuring slight imperfections, oxidisation, or traditional silvering.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror against a minimalist, neutral wall creates a striking focal point and adds a layer of historical contrast to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre brush to protect the delicate gilt surface, and clean the glass with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the mirror.
