FAQs

A Louis Philippe mirror originates from the mid-19th-century French period, characterised by a simple, elegant rectangular shape with rounded top corners and a subtle ogee-moulded frame, often finished in gold leaf or gilt.

Authentic period frames are typically constructed from softwoods such as pine, gessoed, and water-gilded with genuine gold leaf. They frequently feature hand-cut sheet glass with bevelled edges and pegged corner joints at the reverse.

Authentic pieces display historical indicators such as hand-applied gesso, foxing or oxidisation within the mirror plate, original pine backing boards, and hand-forged iron hanging hardware.

A gilt mirror adds warmth and reflection when positioned above a mantelpiece or hung opposite a window to amplify natural light, pairing effectively with both contemporary and traditional furnishings.

Dust the gilded frame gently with a soft, dry brush and clean the glass using a lint-free cloth with a neutral cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate gold leaf finish.
