FAQs

The Louis XV style originates from the 18th-century French Rococo movement, characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic motifs such as foliage and shells, and ornate cartouches.

Traditional mirrors from this period typically feature a hand-carved wooden frame, often made from pine or oak, finished with a layer of gesso and applied gold leaf using water gilding techniques.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the construction joints, the presence of hand-carved rather than moulded details, the ageing of the gesso, and the characteristics of the glass plate, such as foxing and beveling.

Placing a large antique mirror against a minimalist wall creates a striking focal point, balancing contemporary clean lines with historic texture and reflecting natural light to enhance spatial volume.

Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or abrasive cloths, as moisture and friction can easily damage the delicate gold leaf layer.
