Baroque and Rococo mirrors are characterised by exuberant ornamentation, dynamic asymmetry, and intricate scrollwork, often featuring motifs such as acanthus leaves, shells, and C-scrolls designed to create a sense of theatrical grandeur and movement.

These frames were typically constructed from carved softwoods or hardwoods, coated with layers of gesso, and meticulously hand-gilded with genuine gold leaf applied over a coloured bole base.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-carved detailing with natural irregularities, historic gesso cracking, genuine wear to the gold leaf revealing the red bole beneath, and heavy hand-bevelled glass secured with traditional wooden backing boards and old fixings.

An ornate gilt mirror acts as a striking focal point when hung against minimalist neutral walls or above a clean-lined modern console table, introducing historical contrast, texture, and reflected light to the space.

Dust the carved frame gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush, avoiding all liquids, chemical solvents, and abrasive cloths which can strip the delicate gold leaf, while cleaning the glass surface sparingly with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than directly to the mirror.
