FAQs

French gilt mirrors from the 19th century often drew inspiration from earlier classical periods such as Louis XVI, featuring refined proportions, gilded plaster or gesso over wood, and delicate neoclassical motifs.

These frames are typically constructed from carved wood or composition applied to a wooden base, finished with gold leaf or gilt paint, and fitted with bevelled or flat silvered glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of age such as minor losses to the gilt, oxidisation or foxing on the original mirror plate, and hand-carved construction details or period joinery on the reverse.

An antique gilt mirror works well as a focal point above a modern fireplace mantel or hung opposite a window to amplify natural light and create a striking contrast against contemporary neutral walls.

Dust the frame gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using chemical cleaners or water, which can damage the delicate gold leaf finish. Clean the glass with a mild glass cleaner applied to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the surface.
