FAQs

A French giltwood mirror is a decorative looking glass featuring a hand-carved wooden frame coated in a thin layer of gold leaf or gilt, traditionally originating from historic periods such as the Louis XIV, XV, or XVI reigns in France.

These pieces are typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods like pine or oak, coated in a layer of gesso, smoothed, and meticulously hand-gilded with gold leaf or metal leaf before receiving an aged patina.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-carved detailing with minor inconsistencies, heavy foxing or oxidisation on the original mercury or silvered glass plate, and period-appropriate joinery or backing boards.

Placed leaning directly against a living room or bedroom wall, a large gilded mirror creates a sense of expanded space and reflects natural light, serving as a dramatic focal point that contrasts sharply with minimalist contemporary furnishings.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted extremely gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding all water, liquid cleaners, and abrasive chemicals which can permanently lift or dissolve the delicate metallic leaf.
