FAQs

Early 19th-century Italian mirrors typically feature classical proportions, hand-carved gesso frames finished with gold leaf, and often incorporate contrasting coloured glass or subtle neoclassical motifs.

These frames are constructed from softwoods such as pine, coated with multiple layers of gesso, and meticulously hand-gilded with metallic leaf before being burnished to achieve a lustrous sheen.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-applied gesso cracking naturally with age, tool marks from hand-carving on the reverse, and mercury or early silvered glass exhibiting characteristic foxing and oxidisation.

Placing an ornate gilt mirror against a neutral, minimalist wall allows the craftsmanship to stand out as a focal point, creating a striking contrast between modern lines and historical texture.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding all moisture and chemical cleaners. Glass panels can be cleaned sparingly using a microfibre cloth and a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than the mirror itself.
