FAQs

Giltwood mirrors gained prominence during the Baroque and Rococo periods, where master craftsmen applied thin sheets of gold leaf to intricately carved wooden frames to reflect light and display status.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a hand-carved wooden base, such as pine or gesso-coated hardwoods, finished with genuine gold leaf applied over a bole layer.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved tool marks, minor losses to the gesso revealing the underlying wood or red bole, and historic mirror plates with subtle imperfections or oxidation.

Pairing a heavily carved giltwood mirror with minimalist contemporary furniture creates a striking focal point, balancing historical ornamentation with clean, modern lines.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoid all liquid cleaners or chemical polishes, and keep the piece away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
