FAQs

Late 19th-century French mirrors typically feature neoclassical or Louis XVI Revival influences, characterised by symmetrical frames, carved floral motifs, and crests.

These pieces were traditionally crafted using a carved wooden base, gesso application, and water gilding with gold leaf, paired with hand-silvered float glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as foxing on the mercury or silvered glass plate, traditional joinery on the reverse, and micro-cracking in the gesso layer underneath the gold leaf.

Positioning the mirror to reflect natural light helps brighten a room, and leaning it against a wall creates an effortless, sophisticated focal point in living spaces or hallways.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding any liquid cleaners, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials that can damage the delicate gold leaf finish.
