FAQs

The Louis Philippe style emerged in France during the mid-19th century, characterised by understated elegance, simple clean lines, and subtle curves, moving away from the excessive ornamentation of earlier periods.

These frames are typically constructed from wood such as pine or oak, finished with gesso and applied leaf gilding or bronze paint, housing original mercury or silvered float glass plates.

Authentic pieces often display signs of age such as foxing on the glass plate, hand-cut joinery on the wooden backboards, and subtle crackling in the gesso beneath the metallic leaf.

Such a piece works effectively when hung above a modern mantelpiece or paired with minimalist furniture to create a striking contrast between old and new design elements.

Clean the glass using a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner while avoiding the gilded frame, which should only be dusted gently with a dry, soft brush to prevent damage to the delicate finish.
