FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, marked by a return to classical neoclassical symmetry, straight lines, and refined ornamentation such as ribbons, urns, and acanthus leaves.

Authentic period pieces are traditionally constructed from carved wood, such as pine or oak, coated with layers of gesso and bole before being hand-gilded with genuine gold leaf or metal leaf.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the construction joints, the aging of the gesso and base wood, hand-carved detailing rather than cast resin, and the presence of old mirror glass with characteristic foxing and imperfections.

An antique mirror can be placed above a modern minimalist fireplace or leaned casually against a plain wall to create a striking contrast between historical craftsmanship and contemporary simplicity.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using chemical cleaners or excessive moisture on the gilded surface and antique glass to prevent lifting the fragile gold leaf and degrading the original backing.
