FAQs

The George II design period, spanning from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by heavy architectural proportions, early Rococo influences, and symmetrical carved wooden frames featuring architectural pediments and foliage motifs.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from hand-carved softwoods or hardwoods like pine or gesso-coated timber, overlaid with gold leaf applied over a red bole preparation layer.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting the construction joins, hand-cut glass plates with bevelled edges, oxidisation patterns in the silvering, and the depth and hand-chased detail of the gesso and gilt surface.

A giltwood mirror creates a striking focal point when contrasted against minimalist modern walls, or used to amplify natural light and add textural warmth to a traditional living space.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush and kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent the fragile gesso and gold leaf from cracking or flaking.
