FAQs

Regency style spans the early 19th century, heavily influenced by classical Greek, Roman, and Egyptian motifs, characterised by symmetry, architectural framing, and neoclassical ornamentation.

These frames were typically carved from softwoods such as pine or gesso-coated hardwoods, then water-gilded or oil-gilded with genuine gold leaf applied over a bole layer.

Authentic pieces often exhibit period characteristics such as hand-carved details, old plate glass with slight foxing or imperfections, and traditional construction methods like pegged joinery on the reverse.

Placing a historical gilt mirror above a contemporary fireplace or minimalist console creates a striking juxtaposition that adds depth, light, and architectural interest to a room.

Gilt surfaces are extremely fragile and should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding any liquid cleaners, abrasive chemicals, or excessive moisture.
