FAQs

Nineteenth-century French mirrors are characterised by elaborate ornamentation, often featuring symmetrical or asymmetrical scrolling motifs, cartouches, and crests influenced by Rococo and Neoclassical revivals.

Authentic period pieces are typically constructed from carved wood, often gessoed and hand-gilded with gold leaf or metal leaf over a bole base, holding mercury glass or early silvered mirror plates secured with wooden backboards.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved wooden frames rather than resin moulds, signs of age such as foxing or oxidisation on the mirror plate, traditional joinery at the corners, and the presence of period hardware.

An antique gilt mirror can serve as a dramatic focal point when hung above a modern fireplace mantelpiece or propped against a wall to create a sense of light and scale in a contemporary room.

Gilded surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid using any chemical cleaning agents, water, or abrasive materials that could strip the gold leaf.
