FAQs

A Louis Philippe mirror originates from the mid-19th-century French period, characterised by clean lines, rounded upper corners, and a simpler, more understated elegance compared to earlier ornate styles.

These mirrors are typically constructed with a wooden base, often pine or gesso-coated oak, finished with applied gold leaf or gilt paint, and fitted with original mercury or silvered sheet glass.

Authenticity is indicated by foxing or oxidisation in the glass, hand-carved or molded wooden construction with traditional joinery, and the natural wear of the gilding over time.

This piece works effectively when contrasted against minimalist modern architecture, placed above a fireplace mantel, or leaned casually against a wall to create verticality and reflect natural light.

Clean the mirror glass with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner, avoiding direct contact with the gilt frame, which should only be gently dusted with a dry, soft brush.
