FAQs

Named after the French king who reigned from 1830 to 1848, the Louis Philippe style is characterised by understated elegance, simple clean lines, and often features a rounded top corner frame with subtle ornamentation.

Authentic period pieces are traditionally constructed from pine, oak, or gesso-coated wood, finished with gold leaf or gilt paint applied by hand over a prepared base layer.

Authentication involves examining the reverse for hand- cut boards, inspecting the mirror plate for foxing or mercury backing, and checking the gesso and gilt layers for age-appropriate oxidisation and wear.

A large gilded mirror can be leaned casually against a living room wall to bounce light around the space, creating an effective juxtaposition between historic ornamentation and contemporary minimalist architecture.

Gilt frames should be cleaned strictly with a dry, soft feather duster, avoiding any liquid cleaners, moisture, or chemical solvents that could degrade the fragile metallic leaf.
