FAQs

Louis Philippe mirrors, originating from 19th-century France, are characterised by their subdued elegance, typically featuring rounded top corners, a simple ogee-moulded frame, and less ornamentation than earlier Baroque or Rococo designs.

These frames are traditionally constructed from pine, oak, or fruitwood, which is then gessoed and hand-gilded with gold leaf or painted. The glass plates are often characterised by heavy bevels and historical mercury silvering.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as foxing and oxidisation on the mirror plate, hand-cut joinery at the corners, shrinkage cracks in the gesso, and aged timber visible on the reverse.

Such mirrors work effectively when leaned against a wall atop a mantelpiece or console table to create a sense of verticality and reflect natural light, contrasting antique patination with contemporary minimalist surroundings.

Preservation requires avoiding harsh chemical cleaners and moisture on the fragile gilt surface. Dust gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and protect the original mirror plate from direct dampness.
