FAQs

The Italian Baroque style is characterised by theatricality, dynamic movement, and heavy ornamentation, featuring elaborate carved foliage, scrolls, and asymmetrical cartouches designed to create a sense of drama.

They were typically constructed from carved softwoods such as lime or pine, which were then coated in layers of gesso, hand-gilded with gold leaf, and fitted with mercury or silvered float glass.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved tool marks, natural oxidisation and foxing on the mirror plate, layered gesso cracking beneath the gold leaf, and construction joints using historical fixings.

Pairing an ornate historical mirror with contemporary, minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast that highlights the craftsmanship of the piece while maintaining a balanced, uncluttered room scheme.

Dust gently with a dry, soft feather duster and avoid all liquid cleaners, abrasive cloths, or chemical sprays, as moisture and harsh agents can permanently damage fragile gold leaf.
