The Louis XV style, or French Rococo, is characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic plant motifs such as C-scrolls and acanthus leaves, and an emphasis on organic movement and elegance.

These pieces typically feature a carved wooden base, often pine or gesso-coated hardwoods, finished with gold leaf applied over a bole layer. Traditional joinery secures the frame corners, housing hand-silvered glass plates.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-carved wooden detailing beneath the gilding, period-appropriate joinery, oxidisation and imperfections within the mirror glass, and age-related wear to the gold leaf surface.

An antique gilt mirror can serve as a dramatic focal point when leaned casually against a wall, contrasting clean modern lines with ornate historical craftsmanship to add depth and reflected light to a space.

Gilt surfaces are extremely delicate and should only be dusted gently with a soft, dry brush. Moisture and chemical cleaners must be avoided to prevent stripping the gold leaf or damaging the aged mirror plate.
