FAQs

Nineteenth-century gilt mirrors frequently draw upon classical architectural proportions, featuring ornate carved frames finished with gold leaf applied over a gesso base.

These pieces typically comprise a carved timber or composition frame coated in metallic leaf, housing a heavy glass mirror plate secured with traditional wooden backing boards.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved detailing, historical signs of ageing such as foxing or minor oxidisation on the glass plate, and traditional joinery methods on the reverse.

A large statement mirror can be hung above a fireplace or positioned directly against a wall to reflect natural light and create a sense of expanded space in a room.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the delicate metallic leaf surface.
