Description

An absolutely stunning antique French Gilt Wood mirror, the frame dates from around the 1890-1910 period.

It is of superb quality with an absolutely gorgeous design. We obtained it like this, the previous owner had replaced the glass with a mottled distressed glass to give a decorative effect. It could be changed back into a regular mirror if desired.

The condition is superb, with only some extremely light wear and a wonderful overall patina.

FAQs

French giltwood mirrors are characterised by intricately carved wooden frames coated in gold leaf or gold paint, often featuring ornate floral, scroll, or ribbon motifs inspired by classical periods.

Authentic period pieces are traditionally constructed using carved gesso over wood, such as pine or oak, finished with hand-applied gold leaf or water gilding techniques.

Authenticity is identified by examining the ageing of the gesso, hand-carving details, foxing or oxidisation on the original glass plate, and construction methods at the reverse of the frame.

An antique gold mirror can be used as a striking focal point by hanging it above a contemporary fireplace or pairing it with minimalist furniture to create a balanced contrast between old and new.

Giltwood frames should be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush and never treated with water or chemical solvents, while mirror glass can be cleaned sparingly with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner.
